Parent/Guardian Requirement for Minors

A parent or legal guardian must remain on site for the duration of the program and may attend as an observer at no cost.

Parents are welcome to observe classroom instruction and range operations.

Important Parent Policy (Please Read)

Parents/guardians attending with a youth participant are considered observers only unless separately registered as full participants.

Observers may not:

  • Handle training weapons or equipment

  • Participate in hands-on drills

  • Handle firearms or ammunition at the range

Adults who wish to shoot must register separately and complete required safety training. No same-day changes will be permitted.

What’s Included

Each youth registration includes:

  • Classroom firearm safety instruction

  • Instructor-led safety demonstrations and scenario training

  • Optional supervised indoor range experience (for eligible participants)

  • Up to 30 rounds of .22 LR ammunition (if range option selected)

  • Firearm rental (if range option selected)

  • Eye and ear protection (if range option selected)

  • Targets and range materials

Registration Options

Option 1: Classroom Only (No Range)

Ideal for families who want the safety training component without live-fire participation.

Option 2: Classroom + Optional Range Experience

Includes classroom training plus supervised range participation for youth who choose to shoot.

Class Size & Attendance

To maintain a safe and effective learning environment, classes are limited to 10 total participants.

Adult Participants: Up to 10 adults may attend a class, space permitting.

Youth Participants: Children must be accompanied by an observing parent or guardian. We generally aim for a 1:1 parent/guardian-to-child ratio, although exceptions may be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Because observer adults occupy class space, a session with youth participants may accommodate fewer paying participants. As a general guideline, classes can accommodate up to 5 children, each accompanied by an observing parent or guardian.

If you have a unique family situation or would like multiple children accompanied by one adult, please contact us before registering.

What to Bring

  • Closed-toe shoes (required)

  • Comfortable clothing

  • Parent/guardian must remain on site

  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn

All equipment needed for training and range participation will be provided based on your registration option.
