The camp is designed for kids ages 10-16 to come out and enjoy God’s great outdoors.  The children have the opportunity to harvest a big game animal, gain their hunter education certificate, angler education certificate, learn about archery, rifles, shotguns, wildlife management, land management, fellowship with other young outdoorsmen and have fun on a ranch for a week.

“This will be an experience that the kids will not soon forget,” said Austin Brashier, the Camp Director.  “To spend a week in the outdoors hunting, fishing, swimming and fellowshipping with other young people will be the ultimate outdoor adventure.”

The campers are given the opportunity to raise their own money to pay for camp.  Each year the Adventure Camp offers a raffle that includes hunts, fishing trips and summer camp spots.  The tickets cost is $10 each and 100% of the proceeds go directly toward the camper’s tuition.  

The camps will take place the months of June, July and August.  The ranches that host the camps are Kent Creek Ranch,  and the 700 Springs Ranch.   This year the girls camp will take place at,  Rhino Outdoors.

The daily activities include hunting in the morning followed up by brunch and morning activities. During the afternoon hours the kids spend time swimming and fishing on the different rivers and creeks on the ranches.  During the mid afternoon hours the kids enjoy a quiet fellowship time, hunting videos or sports related activities.  In the evening the campers gear up hunting and playing on the ranch.  After we return from the evening hunt we share stories from the hunt and head to the fire ring for our fireside devotional time.

AUSTIN, Texas – Hunting affordability and accessibility are growing concerns in the outdoor industry, but it was not a problem for nearly a dozen children and their parents who enjoyed the thrill of the hunt and the taste of pork at the 2nd Annual Pigapalooza Youth Hog Hunt. Sponsored by the American Deer & Wildlife Alliance (ADWA), the event was recently hosted at the DB Hunting Ranch in Bertram, Texas.

“The Pigapalooza is always a fun event for the kids but, more importantly, it is another means for us to address the growing problem of hunting affordability and accessibility,” says John Meng, president of the American Deer & Wildlife Alliance. “Our children today are the sportsmen and conservationists of tomorrow. We, as a society and an industry, must work now to ensure that wildlife stewardship and outdoor participation exists 10, 20 and 30 years from now. The Pigapalooza is only one event during the year, but I know each and every one these kids will remember this experience for a long, long time.”

The Pigapalooza Youth Hog Hunt provides a fun and affordable hunting opportunity for children, ages 8-17, and serves pork sandwich lunches and educational activities to help inform children about wildlife issues. At this year’s event, Wildlife Analytical Laboratories (www.DeerAge.com) provided an informative talk on wildlife stewardship and aging deer through forensics, while other ADWA volunteers provided sessions on duck calling, archery and led a nature walk. In addition to the hunt, children also received free duck calls, scent-masking sticks from Trophy Blend Scents, ADWA caps and a chance to win a free hunt at the ADWA Youth Safari Camp opening later this spring.

“It was a pleasure to be at this event,” says Henry Chidgey, owner of Wildlife Analytical Laboratories. “I very much enjoyed the opportunity to share some of our passion and knowledge about wildlife stewardship with the young folks and I really want to compliment ADWA and the work they do.”
