Year: 2023

Texas Parks and Wildlife and Harris County Precinct 2 have partnered up to promote the great outdoors to youth across 560 square miles. With Precinct 2 being one of the places with the highest poverty rate, it is crucial to create youth activities that are fun, engaging, and empowering that are accessible to all and keep our youth safe and off the streets. Precinct 2 was very fortunate to receive a grant of $50,000. With these funds, we began to offer FREE fishing, archery, overnight camps, adaptive fishing, youth day camps and our biggest one of all, our first ever Outdoor Adventures Spring Break Camp. Youth across the whole precinct was able to access multiple programs that included free transportation, free activities, free food, and fun with learning. Thus far, we’ve sent home close to 3,000 happy participants and have received raving reviews from our parents. Our biggest comment is, “When is the next event?”
