Your child becomes our child 

Safety is Our Priority

At the Hunt for Hope Safety is our number one priority. Each child will be given a one to one sight in with a professional instructor and expert on crossbows. At this time the child will learn how to safely operate a crossbow and the instructor must feel the child is competent before going out in the woods*. All children are matched with guides who assist them while hunting. This guide observes during sighting in the bow and gets to know  your child personally. This guide will be with your child during the hunt and is well suited to answer your hunting questions. 

Wheelchair bound children are transported to the blinds using trucks or trailers behind a buggy. (please see the image above) Our guides and volunteers have been trained on how to load and unload the children in a safe manner. Your child will also be accompanied in the trailer by two to four volunteers for the brief ride to the blind.

At the Hunt we are pleased to tell you that medical volunteers are present. Nurses and medics are members of our volunteers who are trained to work in emergency situations and are knowledgeable on childhood diseases. Before your child arrives, our nurses and medics are briefed on your child so that they are prepared to care for your child to the best of their ability. Additionally, if necessary the nurses and medics will accompany your child to the blind to tend to medical equipment during the hunt.

*We understand that many parents fear that a disability can hinder your child's participation in an event. At the Hunt for Hope we work to allow your child to have as much freedom as possible as long as our professional instructor feels that he or she is able to perform. The instructor may suggest a double sight allowing the guide to see as the child sees, a sip and puff, or another piece of adaptive equipment. These help your child to have the most enjoyable time during our hunt by promoting their independence.
