Volunteers Needed at the 2013 "YOUTH EXPO" Dodge County Fairgrounds - Beaver Dam, WI
Hunter Education Instructors and Learn to Hunt Mentors are needed to mentor fourth and fifth grade students while shooting BB guns at the Wisconsin Outdoor Youth Education Expo on Thurs. May 16 and Fri. May 17, 2013. The “Youth Expo” is held at the Dodge County Fairgrounds, three miles east of Beaver Dam on Hwy 33.
Each year the Expo attracts between 3,000 - 3,500 students, teachers and chaperones. The Expo is arranged by “camps,” including: archery, wildlife and conservation heritage enrichment, team building, firearm safety, fishing, camping, birds of prey, bird and animal calling, sporting dog demonstrations and trail recreation. All of this at no cost to the schools or groups attending.
Students arriving at the DNR firearm safety camp attend brief instruction on TAB-K presented by RSWs and then proceed to shoot BB guns at paper targets. Each student is mentored, one-on-one, by a Hunter Ed. Instr.,Learn to Hunt Mentor, or Conservation Warden. This is where YOU can help. There are two 24 target ranges operating; which means over 50 mentors and/or wardens are needed each day.
If you can help on one or both days, or want more information, contact Hunter Ed. Instr. Coordinator, Marlin Spindler, 921 N. Center St. Beaver Dam, WI 53916, phone (920)887-2895, or email at mspindler@charter.net, or Hunter Ed. Administrator Jon King at Jon.King@Wisconsin.gov.
Double occupancy motel rooms can be provided on Thurs. night for those volunteer who must travel a long distance.
