Junior Anglers!

Junior Anglers of Ohio was established to teach youth the joys of fishing and the responsibilities of conservation, wildlife management and water safety.  The five year program teaches all types of fishing including fly casting, spin casting, bait casting and archery. Youth also learn tackle maintenance and have the opportunity to make their own equipment. Fly tying, lure making, rod building and net making classes are built in to the program.  Water safety is taught by the Ohio Division of Watercraft, and officers of the Ohio Division of Wildlife are on hand to assist and instruct young fishermen.  The campfire weekend is open to boys and girls ages 8 to 16.

Coonskin Cap Brigade:

Founded in 1964 for the purpose of educating our youth in shooting sports and outdoor activities, the brigade believes that the outdoors is a thing of the heart and senses, the sight, sound, smell, taste and touch of the Master's hand.  The brigade's ongoing purpose is to arouse and maintain this interest in the hearts and minds of today's youth. To teach the need for genuine conservation of our wildlife resources and effective protection of our right to keep and bear arms is extremely important.  The four year program encompasses all areas of hunting. From Ohio's Hunter Education course (offered to first year students) to field instruction and practice shooting shotgun, rifle, muzzleloader, pistol and archery, youth have the opportunity to learn under the close supervision of experienced instructors. Advanced classes include sporting clays and pheasant hunting over dogs.  Instruction in taxidermy, knife making, cap making, wildlife identification, watercraft and first aid are offered throughout the program.
