Over the course of three days, participants attend four half-day courses chosen from 28 options. Sessions include shotgun, rifle and archery; fly fishing, fly tying and towing a boat with a trailer; camping, outdoor cooking and hiking; and map and compass, navigation and orienteering skills.

The registration fee is $295 and covers accommodations, meals and all course material. To register, email salmoniernaturepark@gov.nl.ca or call 709-229-7888.
