On this episode of LIVinOutdoors presented by Ruger Marlin, join Jen O'Hara as she spends her summer at Kids Outdoor Sports Camp. Jen has been part of KOSC for the past twelve years in several different roles. Currently, Jen is a consultant for KOSC, as well as their Lead Firearms Instructor. It means so much to be part of helping kids in California learn the safe and correct way to handle firearms and teach them to enjoy the outdoors.
KOSC was founded in 1998 by Judy Oswald. After taking her grandchildren to participate in a hunter education course, Judy felt like she could make the experience more beneficial to California youth. She wanted a more hands-on experience and several days of training versus the traditional one or two-day courses that were offered at the time.
KOSC started their first year with one camp of 16 campers in the summer of 1998. The next year it was 2 camps with 16 kids each. We are proud to say that we now host over 200 campers every summer! The majority of them come to beginning camp to learn about Hunter’s Safety and the fundamentals of conservation and hunting in the outdoors. Judy still attends camps to teach about her passion, conservation and Hunter Education. She plays a huge part in helping our Wood Ducks, plus the kids love seeing and hearing about it every summer.
