In 2024 the community is celebrating the 10-year anniversary for Youth Outdoor Activity Day!
Everyone is welcome to join us on Sunday, Aug. 25, from 10 am to 4 pm.
 
This FUN and FREE community event inspires our families, children, neighbors and friends to learn about fun activities playing in the great outdoors.
Registration is required. Sign up online and save time.
 
Youth Outdoor Activity Day is a free family-friendly event intended to provide youth a fun environment in which to learn about outdoor recreation. Activities include trap shooting, archery, hunting, angling and many other related skills. Over 40 hands-on activities and demonstrations are planned. This public event is made possible through a consortium of participating volunteer organizations, businesses, individuals, and donors. Hosted and organized by the Viking Sportsmen (VS) and Douglas County Pheasants Forever (PF), the annual event takes place at the Alexandria Shooting Park.
 
Expect more than 2400 youth participants, taking part in more than 40 activities.  It all takes place thanks to the work of 250 annual volunteers and more than 60 sponsors.
 
REMINDER: Youth Outdoor Activity Day respectfully requests that NO DOGS, PETS or GUNS be brought to the event.
 
For a video feature thanks to Ron Schara of Minnesota Bound, click on this link.  The story on Youth Outdoor Activity Day (from 7 years ago) is located at about 10:35 into the show.

Lots of Fun!

A note from Jennifer about herself:
I am an adopted child; both of my parents are Native American but I was adopted to German/Polish parents. Fortunately my parents were committed to ensuring I knew and was connected to my heritage as I grew up, and I am excited to share this piece of it with you!
I have always loved art! So much that I earned an associates degree in Commercial Art. I simply love any kind of artistic expression: Photography, Drawing, Airbrush, Beading, and of course making Dreamcatchers!
Throughout my life I have always loved learning absolutely anything. Learning is the way of life!
I look forward to meeting you in this new class!
