JAKES stands for Juniors Acquiring Knowledge, Ethics and Sportsmanship.

If you are 13 years old or younger and you like hunting, fishing, hiking, camping or just being outside with your family, JAKES is the program for you. The National Wild Turkey Federation started the JAKES program as a way to give kids the chance to explore their outdoor world through hundreds of fun kids-only events held across North America called JAKES Conservation Field Days. During these events, JAKES members get to learn cool skills that they can take to the field to stay safe and have fun.

Make sure you check the North Carolina events calendar section of this web site to find a JAKE Conservation Field Day near your home. Take a friend and your family for a fun day of conservation and building friendships.
