Medicine Lodge Kids Outdoor Day

Youth from across the Big Horn Basin are invited to the upcoming Medicine Lodge Kids Outdoor Day — an exciting and fun filled day of outdoor activities for kids Aug. 16 at Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site in Hyattville. Register online today! 

“This is a great opportunity for kids to get outside, have fun and learn a new outdoor skill,” said Tara Hodges, information and education specialist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department. “Pre-registration is required, and those that register by July 28 will receive a free t-shirt and water bottle. Space is limited, so we encourage participants to register soon.” 

Participants will be divided into age groups, then rotate through activity stations. Children ages 8-10 will cast fishing poles, shoot air rifles, practice archery, learn about birding and basic camping skills. Kids ages 11-12 will shoot .22 rifles, throw atlatls, dig for artifacts, dissect owl pellets and learn about macroinvertebrates. Ages 13 and over will shoot muzzleloaders, practice on a ropes course, cast fly rods and learn about large carnivore awareness and outdoor survival.  

The Little Explorers tent, open from 8:30-11:00 a.m., will offer children ages 7 and under and accompanied by a parent, an opportunity to participate in activities that include a nature hike, making animal tracks, story time and much more. 

The event, co-hosted by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and Wyoming State Parks, will take place at Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site in Hyattville.
