If Your Child Can Spend 5 Hours on YouTube, Imagine What They Could Learn Outdoors.

Let’s be honest. Most parents are fighting the same battle.

Phones. Tablets. Video games. Streaming services. Social media.

As millennial parents, many of us grew up riding bikes until dark, building forts in the woods, and spending entire weekends outside.

Today’s kids? Many spend more time looking at screens than looking at the world around them.

And while technology certainly has its place, more parents are searching for activities that help their children:

✔ Build confidence

✔ Learn responsibility

✔ Make friends

✔ Develop focus

✔ Spend time outdoors

✔ Learn real-world skills

That’s one reason youth sporting clays continues to grow throughout Georgia.

At Etowah Valley Sporting Clays in Dawsonville, Georgia, young people have the opportunity to unplug, challenge themselves, build lifelong friendships, and develop skills that extend far beyond the course.

And many parents quickly discover it’s about much more than breaking targets. Read More
