The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is launching a new Explorer Program designed to introduce youth to hunting, fishing, and outdoor activities across the state.

The program will provide hands-on experiences for young people ages 10-17, including guided fishing trips, hunter education courses, and wildlife observation outings. Registration opens in April.

“We want to ensure the next generation has the opportunity to experience the incredible outdoor resources the Dakotas have to offer,” said the department spokesperson.
