"The format is unique in that it is every other day and includes a Saturday to make it easier for kids to be there and not be such a burden on their school work," said Gleason. "The instructors are superb and the course has evolved into a very interactive experience that concludes on Saturday with a 'walk-around' simulated hunt with mock weapons."
