Wakulla County Sheriff David Harvey will offer a Firearms Safety and Outdoors Skills Day Camp for five days Monday, July 26 through Friday, July 30 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Sheriff’s Office Training Center at the Otter Creek Range, 65 Qualify Lane in Sopchoppy.

Sheriff’s office instructors will provide a hands-on learning experience for students age 12 to 16. The cost is $100 per student and the program is open to only 50 students. Registration ends on July 16. Scholarship opportunities may be available for students who cannot afford the registration fee.

Students will receive training in a variety of areas that introduce them to the lifetime sport of hunting including: how to use a map and compass; observation of wildlife and reading wildlife signs; developing outdoor survival skills; field first aid; hunting skills and the safe use of rifles, shotguns and archery equipment.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive their Florida Hunter Safety Course certification. Certification is required for anyone born on or after June 1, 1975 to purchase a Florida hunting license.

Students may be dropped off as early as 7 a.m. and picked up before 6 p.m. Lunch and beverages will be included in the registration fee. A T-shirt, hat and goodie bag will also be included.
