Our annual Hoosier Outdoor Experience will stand out from other events such as sport shows, outdoor trade shows, and commercial events in many ways. The most important difference between an Outdoor Experience and other events is that we will strictly focus on hands-on and interactive learning events that will teach outdoor skills and conservation to kids, families, and minorities that are currently less experienced in the outdoors. Additionally, our event will focus on Indiana’s outdoor heritage and culture. All participants will have the opportunity to try their hand at an array of outdoor activities and skills. For example, we are considering offering stations on hunting and fishing skills, compass/GPS skills, wildlife management, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and kayaking, history and culture of our natural resources, and camping.
