Kicking Bear One on One - Great Outreach Event!

COME JOIN IN THE FUN!!!
AUGUST 27TH AND 28TH, 2010
What is Kicking Bear?
Kicking Bear One-on-One is a nationwide mentoring program developed by world-renowned bow hunter Ray Howell. The program encourages our sportsmen and sportswomen to get involved with today’s youth and become mentors. The campout and shoot is a great way for mentors to introduce youth to the outdoors and to the sport of archery. The program’s target is towards helping children outside of our immediate families, such as children from broken homes, in order to give them someone to look up to. Many of these children helped in the past would have never had the chance to experience the outdoors and archery, had it not been for mentors who care. By encouraging our sportsmen and sportswomen to reach outside their immediate families and become mentors, we can really enlighten a young person and make a difference in his/her life, and the future of their own family’s life to come, as well as make a difference in the growth of our outdoor sports. We suggest targeting children between the ages of 5-17, but no one will be turned down.
What is the Event?
The 2010 Michigan Kicking Bear event is two fun-filled days! Friday evening is comprised of supper, fishing, hayrides, games, tug-o-war, videos, camping, fireside stories and maybe a marshmallow roast or two! Saturday will include breakfast, lunch, safety orientation and archery shooting. After a mandatory safety meeting, there will be novelty shoots for the kids-such as shooting at apples on strings, balloon and 3D target shooting and much more. All adults are encouraged to bring children from outside their home, as well as their own children. Each child participating will receive a free t-shirt and hat.
