NRA Whittington Center Adventure Camp

The Friends of NRA has funded scholarships for four (4) individuals to attend the NRA Whittington Center ADVENTURE CAMP in Raton, New Mexico. The ADVENTURE CAMP program is 13 days long. The first session starts on June 11th 2006. The second session starts on June 25th, 2006.
The campers will shoot rifles from 25 to 1,000 yards, pistols including .22 LR up to the .45 ACP, muzzle loaders at paper and steel silhouettes, and shotguns including trap, skeet and 5-stand. Last year over 80,000 rounds were fired. In addition, the campers will learn cooking skills, orienteering, camping skills, trapping skills, knot tying, and many other fun activities. The campers will also earn their New Mexico 'Hunters Education' certificate which is accepted in all 50 states. At the end of ADVENTURE CAMP, the campers will go on a three day wilderness camp-out, and have the opportunity to use the skills that they have acquired in the program.

Eligibility requirements are that the prospective camper must be between 13 and 17 years old at the time of camp, and have a minimum of 3.0 GPA. Winners will be selected from the applications received.
