ROMS Archery & Outdoor Education

While this is one of his favorite days for the kids, it's boring for Mr. Bell. (In a good way) We teach them to make their s'mores and then send them on their way. Even though we aren't camping, it's still important for them to sit around the fire, joke and laugh, eat, and enjoy the camaraderie of their peers.

It's a rare experience these days and it's important. They are having positive vibes, enjoying the shared experience and having some very interesting conversations. Kids need this more!

Outdoor Ed would like to thank Mr. Christopher Thompson for finally putting in that pond we have been requesting!!

Outdoor Ed students have arrived at the Outdoor Extravaganza! We are excited to see some Texas Parks and Wildlife presentations geared towards youth hunting and then explore the show. Thank you to the Outdoors Tomorrow Foundation for supporting our kids and getting us out here.

Nothing like a little blindfold minefield to bring a team together! OE kids are learning teamwork and communication.

Our program had an amazing weekend at Cedar Hill State Park with the TPWD Texas Outdoor Family (TOF) program!

16 ROMS families explored the park, fished, kayaked, swam, made s'mores and had a lot of family time. Kids that get outdoors are happier & healthier!



We logged sightings of: 2 snakes, a beaver, several rabbits, red tail hawks, cardinals, cranes, many other birds, racoons, lizards, baby turtles, and a stubborn bass that wouldn't bite.
