Jun. 252017

OQUOSSOC — Are you looking for a great outdoor program for your child this summer? The Junior Guides Summer Program, recipient of the 2016 Teddy Roosevelt Maine Conservation Award, is for ages 9 through 12 and runs for six consecutive Mondays starting July 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m at the Rangeley Guides and Sportsmen’s Association Clubhouse, Old Skiway Road.

The program explores the habitat of our native animals, offering hands on exploration of tracks, skulls, jaws, teeth and pelts. Experts will mentor the group in the art of fly tying and fly casting. Canoe safety and paddling is offered. Basic archery instruction is provided. Map and compass skills are also covered.
Space is limited, and because each week’s activities build upon the previous week, preference is given to participants able to attend all six weeks. This program is FREE, but pre-registration is required; contact Joyce Fay at (207) 864-5196.

Originally established in 1895, the association is a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving, protecting, and restoring the wildlife populations of the Rangeley Lakes Region for the enjoyment of sportsmen, sportswomen and future generations.
