LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Lake County Sheriff's Activities League are partnering to offer an archery activity to students ages 8 years to 18 years.

The event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 6, at the firing range on Highlands Spring Dam Road from 8 to 11 a.m., with a hotdog feed will be provided for student participants at 11 a.m.

Those who are 17 and 18 years old must still be in high school to participate.

All equipment is provided and there is no charge to families.

Organizers ask parents of children from 8 to 12 to stay for the activity.

To register, call Lake County Sheriff's Activities League Board Members Terry Norton at 707-263-0454. Norton will take your children's names, ages and contact information for future notifications as needed.

Each student participant must bring an already completed and signed release and waiver form to the event. If you have already filled one out in 2022 for a different LCSAL activity (boxing kayaking or Jr. Giants), let Norton know.

The form can be found on the Sheriff's Activities League website, www.lakecountysal.com. Click on Programs and look for the blue button.

If you sign your child up for this activity and are unable to make the date, let Norton know. The groups need to keep an accurate head count of participants.

The weather will likely be hot. Wear cool and comfortable clothes, closed toe shoes for safety, a hat, sunscreen and bring your own water.

Other requirements are your patience, your willingness to learn and to shoot safely as well as a big smile for our volunteers.
