Hello Everyone,
I hope you are all getting the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors
this summer. All is going well for the SCI Drayton Valley Chapter with
efforts focusing on numerous initiatives.
On June 7th, in partnership with the Brazeau BowBenders, we helped
host a one-day Archery Fun Shoot for local area school children.
This event provided the children with the opportunity to enjoy
some target archery, while also being treated to a few prizes
and certificates of participation. Read more about this great
one day event further on in this newsletter!
Over the past year we have been working closely with
Cabelas Edmonton to organize a trip for inner city children
to come out and enjoy a day at the Fishing Dock. The fruits
of our labour will be coming to fruition on June 21st as we
will be hosting this great event; we anticipate having 20
children participate in this great outdoor day! Watch
for a recap of this event in our September newsletter

Preparations are in full swing for our 6th Annual

YOUTH FUN SHOOT
June 7th turned out to be an amazing day...over 80 children from our
local schools, NASP instructors and parents congregated at the Brazeau
BowBenders Archery Range for a fun filled day of youth archery shooting.
This event was made possible through the collective efforts of the Brazeau
BowBenders and SCI Drayton Valley Chapter.
Throughout the day all of the children had the opportunity to participate in
an open field target shoot and then head out onto the 3D course. For many
of these children it was the first time they ever ran a 3D course! There were
plenty of smiles to be seen on faces throughout the day!
The SCI Drayton Valley Chapter sponsored the beef on a bun lunch which
was hosted by Servus Credit Union staff. Gift bags that the Chapter had
assembled were also distributed to each participating child.
At the conclusion of the day the children had their score cards tabulated,
after which time they were presented with a certificate of participation
highlighting their bronze, silver or gold level score.
This was a great family event and the SCI Drayton
Valley Chapter was most proud to be a part of it. We
thank the Brazeau BowBenders for their partnership
and making their range available for this youth event.
We look forward to doing this again next year!
