Kids Invited to Medicine Lodge Day

Youth from across the Bighorn Basin are invited to the upcoming Medicine Lodge Kids Outdoor Day.

The event filled with outdoor activities for kids will be August 24th at Medicine Lodge State Archaeological Site in Hyattville.

Tara Hodges, information and education specialist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, says there will be six activity stations, which will allow kids to practice archery, cast fishing poles, shoot air rifles and learn about rockhounding, basic camping skills and macro invertebrates.

Pre-registration is required and those that register by Aug. 7 will receive a free t-shirt and water bottle.

The event is co-sponsored by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department and Wyoming
State Parks. Participants should be prepared to spend the entire day outdoors, bring plenty of drinking water and sunscreen and wear comfortable, close-toed shoes.  Lunch will be provided.
