INSPIRE A KID - IT'S FOR LIFE
The Wyoming Game and Fish Inspire a Kid initiative aims to introduce
youth to the outdoors by providing resources for families to teach their
children how to enjoy outside activities, whether it be fishing, hunting,
wildlife photography, hiking or other adventures.
Specifically, Game and Fish programs like youth hunts, kids fishing
days, hunter education and summer camps are experiences children of all
ages can partake in to bolster their skills.
The Game and Fish website serves as a resource with
easy plans for getting outside more often with their families.
By inspiring the youth of today, we are creating the next generation of
anglers, hunters and people who enjoy wildlife.
Visit the Department's website to learn more or share your own Inspire
a Kid moment by using #InspiredByWY on social media channels.
