With hundreds of youths (and adults) at this two-day instruction things will run smoothly is you
will please take note of the following. While the program is provided at no cost,
(we even provide lunch) there are a few items to note:
• Although youths six (6) and up can take the course, you must be nine (9) years old to receive
Texas Parks & Wildlife certification.
• It is a two-day course, and you must attend both days, Saturday 8:00-6:30 (TPWD paperwork
starts at 7:00AM) and Sunday 12:00-5:30 to be certified. NOTE: Sunday lunch will be served
BEFORE the sesson starts, from 11:00 'til Noon.
(Sorry, even with pre-registration TPWD paperwork must be filled out as we cannot do this ahead of time)
• Yes, adults can take the course free of charge as well (and we encourage
parents/guardians to attend with their youths, but please let us know if you will be
accompanying your youth so as to get an accurate lunch count) and ..
• Any adult/guardian bringing a youth 17 years old and younger, but not staying for the course,
must still plan on staying at least one hour the first day, Saturday, until all paperwork is
completed. You cannot simply drop off anyone under 18!
• BBQ lunch will provided both days for all participants (NOTE ONCE AGAIN!: Sunday lunch will
be served BEFORE the sesson starts, from 11:00 'til Noon).
