The Atlantic County Game Preserve has a long standing tradition of family memberships including fathers and sons. Membership has the privledge of permitting children to hunt along side parents until the age of 21, or they complete college, at which time children are eligable for membership.
We have many members young and old who have been initiated into the club by their fathers or grandfathers. One father and son membership's tenure spans four generations, going back to the inception of the club 1905. We sometimes joke that these members are "ACGP Royalty".
The tradition of families enjoying the outdoors and shooting sports being carried forward generation after generation is not unique, however here at the ACGP we pride ourselves on promoting Youth Hunts and events for deer, turkey, pheasant, chukar, quail, duck or even fishing. Did I forget anything? Oh yes, rabbit and sporting clays (held in the afternoon before just about every club dinner meeting). Any opportunity to spend time with family outdoors is time well spent, and to be cherished. Come out on any given day to the field camp and you will see the whole family enjoying the outdoors together. Here are a few of the fathers, sons and daughters you might see out at the Field Camp on any given day.
