Youth Calling Champion Featured Tuesday on Nickelodeon Show
National Wild Turkey Federation 07.31.12
Calling all calling fans. One our own JAKES members will showcase his calling skills to the nation Tuesday night on the Nickelodeon cable network.
Corey Chamberlain, who won the youngest age division at the NWTF’s Grand National Calling Championships in February, will appear on Nickelodeon’s “Figure it Out” game show at 7 p.m. EDT.
In the show, a panel of Nickelodeon’s youth celebrities will ask Chamberlain questions in an attempt to figure out what his unique skill is by solving a predetermined phrase describing the skill.
The celebrity judges include Victoria Justice, star of “Victorious” and “iCarly” cast member Noah Munck.
Following the game, Chamberlain will display his calling prowess. The Claysburg, Pa., native won the title at age 9 at the NWTF’s annual Convention and Sport Show in Nashville, Tenn.
The National Wild Turkey Federation is the leader in upland wildlife habitat conservation in North America. The NWTF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations throughout North America, spending more than $331 million to conserve nearly 16 million acres of habitat. Wild turkeys and hundreds of other species of upland wildlife, including quail, deer, grouse, pheasant and songbirds, benefit from this improved habitat.
The NWTF also brings new conservationists and hunters into the fold through outdoor education events and its Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin' Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES youth outreach programs. Our dedicated NWTF volunteers introduce about 100,000 people to the outdoors through these programs every year.
Founded in 1973, the NWTF is headquartered in Edgefield, S.C., and has local chapters in every state and Canada. According to many state and federal agencies, the restoration of the wild turkey is arguably the greatest conservation success story in North America's wildlife history.
