The local chapter of the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association is again looking to sponsor local boys and girls who would like to attend a Forkhorn camp this summer. Three levels of camp experience are offered for youth ages 11-17. Forkhorn I camps for ages 11-15 are designed for beginning hunters. Forkhorn II camps for ages 12-16 are advanced camps with an emphasis on bow hunting. Forkhorn III camps for ages 14-17 are designed for youth with hunting experience who wish to expand their knowledge of big and small game hunting tips and techniques.
The local chapter has $375 scholarships available for several interested local youth. Money for the scholarships comes primarily from the “Hides for Habitat” fundraising project that is done each fall during the deer hunting season and from major fundraisers like the annual chapter banquet.
Contact Pete Harris at harrispc@boreal.org or (218) 387-1868 for information on how to apply for a scholarship.
