The Granbury Marine Corps JROTC will host Summer Air Rifle Camps on July 17-20, 2017, at Granbury High School.

 

This camp is open to students entering grades 7-9 for the 2017-18 school year, and the registration fee is $100. There will be three sessions each day for students to choose from: 8:00-10:00 A.M., 10:30 A.M.-12:30 P.M., and 1:30-3:30 P.M.

 

The mission of the camp is to promote air rifle safety and marksmanship training with an emphasis on youth, according to Senior Marine Instructor Lt. Col. Scott Casey.  “Safety is the number one objective during training,” he said.

 

Students will learn the basics of the three positions of air rifle shooting.  All equipment and a camp t-shirt will be provided.

 

Leading the camps will be Lt. Col. Casey, First Sergeant Johnny Rositas, and JROTC cadets.
