i have been volunteering my time for the past 3 years to Hunters Helping Kids. I love doing it.This organization gets kids out from in front of the TV or computer and introduces them to outdoor sports. Hunting, fishing, archery, skeet shooting and sport shooting.  I set up and demonstrate primitive style archery. Since this is my 3rd year I am struggling to come up with new things to do. I have done bows and arrow making, atlatl throwing and some flintknapping. The kids are always interested, but I feel I need to do something new. I donate something every year to the drawing for the kids and it always seems to be the highlight of the day.
Long story short, I am looking for advice on what to do new if anything at all.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Thanks guys. I will try to get stuff together and set up some hands on stuff for fire drills, string making, and other stuff mentioned.

It is in Mocksville, NC If you can make it there on the 7th I am sure they will let you attend mo matter what your age is.  ;D Just say your kid is here somewhere and you are looking for him.

Bryan told me about this the other night.  I grew up maybe 4 or 5 miles from that farm.  I'll probably try to bring my oldest son over as long as they take 5 year olds.

Hey nugget, do you have more detailed info by chance?  Mainly need the start time for the event.  My son finally decided on this last night over the Panther's Fan Fest.

It starts at 8 or 9 and goes to 3. They feed everyone lunch. Bring chairs, sunscreen, a hat, and alot of energy.
