Junior Explorer
What is the Junior Explorer program?
The Junior Explorers program is for children ages 9 to 12, or completed Jr. Naturalist. The program teaches them about our natural environments by having them participate in outdoor recreational activities.
Exploring is not for the faint of heart, whether its landing that big fish, learning how to canoe, mountain biking around and through the wildlife area (must supply your own bike), learning how to shoot a bow and arrow, or setting up camp and cooking over an open fire. This is a very active, hands on nature experience.
Schedule
Day One
Introductions name tags, fishing on the Wolf River & picnic.
Day Two
Introduction to canoes and exploring the flowages of Navarino.
Day Three
Bring your bike, sunglasses, helmet or hat as we prepare to ride around and through the wildlife area.
Day Four
Its time to go camping. What do we need? How do you set up a tent? Cooking lunch over an open fire and other camping tidbits.
*Special activity Archery presented by the Wisconsin Bowhunters Association
