Summer Safari

Each year the Crooked Creek Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited sponsors Kids Fishing Day for the kids. It’s a day of water safety, guided fishing from a boat, prizes with lunch and more!

Endless field trips during the summer to various local business, ranches, nature walks, hiking to Judith Outlook, museums, 4-H exhibits at the Fair, Kendal Ghost Town, Fire Department, etc. We take every opportunity to get the kids out.

Helping Farm in the Dell weed their garden or anything to work with local businesses to teach the Club kids skills and importance of community.

The Archery camp is a three day progressive learning experience where members are fitted with appropriate bows and arm guards and shown the proper stance and form to shoot.  Students practice shooting and then began working on their groupings of arrows.  On the final day kiddos are able to get pictures of themselves with the groupings they were most proud of! 

Each summer the Club kids have the great opportunity to experience the local swimming pool. We obtain pool passes, help the kids with water safety, swimming, pool rules. They attend 3+ days a week and many participate in swimming lessons. Best way to cool off during our hot summer months.

Each year the Lewistown Art Center offers a 3 day camp for our kids to attend. They offer a creative space for our young people to explore and learn the fundamentals of art with wonderful instructors, all the supplies you can imagine, and sample ideas. Perfect spot to let the creativity flow.

Agriculture is the core of our Central MT community. It is super fun to share and expose our young people to this culture. To have youth better understand the Agriculture Industry, we want to make sure to highlight on various topics to include, but not be limited to: beef production, rangeland education, grains and gardening, the wonderment of the circle of life in Montana. From growing grain, to caring for cattle, to the life cycle of fish, and using the fruits of the land to make pies, jelly.

The Boys & Girls Club has historically participated in the Central Montana Fair by submitting projects to be on display in the trade center.  Projects have ranged from clay sculptures, oil pastel creations, or acrylic paintings, but this year rooms chose to do diamond art kits. The kids are awarded ribbons and cash prizes through the fair as any other contestant does.
