What:  The Junior Marksmanship Program or "JuMp" is a summer program designed to educate young people in firearms safety, familiarization, and basic marksmanship.  The program is geared toward 10-17 year olds.

Who:  Any student in any surrounding county may fill any available seat.  Seats are filled on a "first come-first served" basis.  No vouchers of any kind are accepted.

Cost:  $1250.  The program is 1 week (non resident) and all inclusive.  Attendees will be fed onsite.  Parents that have children with special dietary needs will need to contact TDSC staff for details.  Attendees will only need to bring a great attitude!  Parents are encouraged to attend with prior coordination.  *Parents with more than one student receive a 50% discount for the second student.

What to wear:  Students should wear t-shirts, jeans, and comfortable "closed toe" shoes (No Crocs, Sandles, Flip Flops etc).  No dresses.  Students are encouraged to wear baseball style hats as these fit comfortably under hearing protection (which is provided).  Students are also encouraged to bring sunscreen.  We will let parents know when to bring rain gear for light showers.
