[rossislider]

AES has announced their Youth Wapiti Weekend workshop on July 29th-30th up at Mormon Lake for youth ages 8-16. Space is limited and it will fill up very quick. At this time there are about 50 spots left. The fee for the weekend is $50 per participant. This covers all meals, activities, and a t-shirt for campers. Meals include breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. All youth participants must be accompanied by an adult. Adults may purchase a meal ticket for $30.

 

I'm taking my wife and our three children up. It will be a lot of fun, especially for my younger two that are not quite hunting age, but are very eager to go. I hope to see a few CWT members there. See the link below for additional details.
