If you know a shooter aged 12-21 who would enjoy some shooting sports action this summer, the NRA is now accepting applications for its annual competitive Shooting Camps for Junior Shooters. These camps, run by the Coach Education Program, help young shooters develop their marksmanship skills. CLICK HERE for application info.

“These camps have everything you need to take your game to the next level,” said NRA National Coach Trainer Daniel Subia. “Each day will be filled with exercises designed to help you master your body positioning, breath, and trigger control to consistently shoot high scores. You’ll be tired at the end of each day, but you’ll leave a better shooter than you were before.”

Intermediate Junior Pistol Camp: June 26 – June 28
Held in Canton, Ohio, this camp is for beginning and intermediate shooters and is limited to 25 students. The camp registration deadline is June 1.

Intermediate Junior Rifle Camp: July 5 – July 10
Located in Camp Perry, Ohio’s Petraca Range, this camp features two admission periods for its 60 slots. The first admission period, open March 11 – April 30 is for junior shooters who have previously participated in an NRA Junior 3P or 4P Smallbore sectional match. The Second admission, open May 1, is open to all shooters.

Junior Advanced Competitive Smallbore Rifle Camp: July 6 – July 14

Held in Jericho, Vermont, this 9-day camp is a demanding training opportunity for advanced athletes and is limited to 20 students. The camp registration deadline is May 1. “[This camp] is like Top Gun for smallbore athletes. We take the best and make them better. We’re not leaving anything out. We will do everything possible to make sure that every marksman leaves this camp as a sharpshooter or better”, said Daniel Subia. “Attendees can expect a challenging, incredibly rewarding training experience that will prepare them for competition at the highest level.”
