Outdoor Youth Day traces its origins back to a simple yet powerful idea: "get kids outdoors!" Spearheaded by local outdoorsman George Cullers, the concept aimed to provide families with hands-on experience in outdoor activities, free of charge, with the hope of igniting a lifelong passion for nature. Since its inception in 2014, Outdoor Youth Day has grown into a cornerstone of Barry County, offering families a fun, skill-building, educational, and entertaining outdoor experience. Additionally, visitors have the opportunity to witness a variety of sport demonstrations and outdoor education displays, facilitated by local experts who generously share their knowledge and expertise.
