Activity Bio
"Our curriculums are designed to accommodate grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-9, and we are expecting to have “graduated” 500 students in our winter program this year, and 1800-2000 in our summer program. We feel that this program allows us an excellent opportunity to not only educate our province’s youth in the great outdoors and natural sciences, but also allows us to explain the roles played by the hunters and anglers in the conservation, enhancement, and protection of our waterways, forests, and fields." - Sask Wildlife Federation
