CRGC Members’ Youngsters Eligible to Win a Week at Barry Conservation Camp
That’s right! Chester Rod and Gun Club is sponsoring, and paying full tuition for a boy, or girl age 10 to 16, for the week of June 24-29 2012 at the UNH 4-H and NH Fish and Game Barry Conservation Camp in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to participate in the Shooting Sports session.
We will draw the winning application on April 16, 2012 at 7:30 PM at the CRGC clubhouse.
To be eligible*, a boy or girl must be the child or grandchild of a current CRGC member, be between the ages of 10 and 16, have written parent or guardian permission, have a true desire to learn shooting sports and fill out a CRGC Parental Permission and Application Form. The form must be received by CRGC or postmarked by midnight April 13th. Applications can also be emailed to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or brought directly to the clubhouse and placed in the marked ballot box on the wall, on your left side, as you enter the club.
The winner will go to Barry Conservation Camp June 24-29, 2012 and participate with Certified Instructors in learning marksmanship, safe and responsible use of firearms, and the basic principles of hunting. Core concepts will emphasize safety, ethical development, personal responsibility, and life-time recreational skills. Disciplines will include archery, rifle, pistol, shotgun, and black powder. Campers will also have a chance to experience many traditional camp activities during the week. Previous shooting sports experience is preferred but not essential. Youth who are not truly interested in learning about shooting sports will be wise to not attend this camp, since that is the main activity.
All necessary camp information will be provided by 4-H to the winner. Transportation to Barry Camp at the Berlin Fish Hatchery is the responsibility of the winner.
* In order to give the most youngsters a chance to experience this week, past CRGC winners are only eligible every other year.
