Attendees will have the opportunity to shoot bows and arrows, fish in one of the park’s many ponds, and try their hand at shooting .22 rifles: all under the watchful eyes of trained professionals and partners. A nature hike, snacks, and goody bags will round out this morning of healthy fun.

A daily Colorado State Parks Pass ($7 per vehicle) or an annual pass is required and can be purchased at the park on the day of the event.
