Cabela’s will continue its longstanding support of U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation and the Trailblazer Adventure Program by hosting the family event at 61 stores on June 13. This marks the fourth consecutive year that USSAF and Cabela’s have teamed up to provide the event at select Cabela’s locations free of charge.
Youth and families visiting these stores have the opportunity to participate in hands-on firearm safety lessons, fishing instruction, archery lessons and trapping demonstrations. Knowledgeable volunteers, many of whom serve as Local Field Directors for USSA, will be on hand to assist participants with activities.
“We look back at the growth and success Trailblazer has experienced over the past four years and are extremely thankful that Cabela’s has been with us every step of the way,” said USSAF Director of Education, Frank Price. “We’re proud to call them our partner and look forward to collaborating with them on additional projects meant to reduce barriers to the outdoors for our youth.”
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors such as Cabela’s, Trailblazer has exposed more than 1.8 million kids to outdoor sports since 2001. The program continues to grow, and will host its 1000th event this April in Jarrell, Texas.
Activities and event times vary by location. Contact your local Cabela’s store for details.

About the USSA Foundation The USSA Foundation (USSAF) is a 501(c)3 organization that protects and defends America’s wildlife conservation. USSAF is responsible for public education, legal defense and research. USSAF works to educate the public on the vital role sportsmen play in wildlife conservation, and to reduce recruitment and retention barriers of hunters. Through programs such as the Trailblazer Adventure Program that introduces youth and their families to an outdoor lifestyle; the USSAF’s Sportsmen’s Legal Defense Fund, which represents sportsmen in lawsuits that affect our outdoor heritage and ensures that the sportsmen’s voice is heard above the rhetoric of the anti-hunting lobby; and the Families Afield program, which makes it easier for new hunters to enter the field, the USSA Foundation works to ensure that today’s outdoors heritage exists for tomorrow’s sportsmen.
