Welcome to Youth Outdoors USA - Minnesota

The concept of Youth Outdoors USA is very simple...  Get kids outside enjoying the great outdoors.  Whether it be riding bicycles, fishing, or playing football...  Teaching children about the living wonders of this planet will help them gain a whole new respect for life in general...
 
Phil Scheen, the founder of Youth Outdoors USA, has been heavily involved in the outdoors for decades, and has dedicated his life to helping reverse the trend of people huddling inside around a video screen, instead of venturing outdoors.
Kara Wattunen, the Minnesota State Director is working right along side Phil to make his dreams about the outdoors and hers come true.
 
The "family unit" has almost evaporated during the last couple of generations, which is a travesty.  It is the hope of all those involved that Youth Outdoors USA will help
pull our families back together.
 In order to get this country back on track, we must teach our children about teamwork, but at the same time make sure they understand that at times they will have no support, and must not only survive, but prosper on their own...  Experiencing the great outdoors is the first step to accomplishing this.
