not having enough time to build a treehouse or ride a bike."

2026 ACTIVITIES FOR THE KIDS

 

After checking out the activities below, you may try to pass as a kid. Don’t worry – there’s no age limit.

The Yankee Sportsman’s Classic Staff is dedicated to providing events, attractions, and educational activities for our younger generations to enjoy. They are designed and staffed by area experts and volunteers who would like to help pass on the hunting and fishing heritage we all cherish so very much. We encourage you to bring your children, no matter what age, because we know they will love every minute of it!

NWTF Turkey Calling Competition for Kids


Traditionally, the NWTF turkey calling competition has been for adults, but this year, we're excited to introduce a separate competition for kids! It will take place on Saturday at 9:30 am, right at the same location in Seminar Area B, which is situated upstairs near the Main entrance.
