The 15th annual Outdoor Skills Camp for the students and families of the Missouri School of the Deaf was held this past weekend and the United Bowhunters of Missouri were there for the 15th time running the archery range and 3D course. This event is the only vacation a lot of these families get to take and it is a rewarding experience to be a part of it. It is held at the H. Roe Bartle Boy Scout Reservation in Osceola, MO and is organized by a group of Missouri Department of Conservation employees. Besides being a lot of fun, it is a great way for our organization to give back to the community and pass on our love of archery.

Here is her trophy photo. She's holding up what's left of the blue balloon we worked so hard to hit.
