Registration is now open for the Civilian Marksmanship Program's (CMP) 2025 Junior Rifle Camps. These camps, focused on three-position marksmanship, aim to develop youth athletes' physical and mental skills while addressing areas needing improvement.

Targeted at high school students and team coaches, the camps will take place nationwide in June and July. Participants will learn intermediate and advanced marksmanship through exercises and demonstrations led by current collegiate rifle athletes.

For more information and registration, visit the CMP website at thecmp.org/camps. Note that each camper must be accompanied by at least one adult leader.

Questions about the camps can be directed to CMP camp director Ryan Hinson at [email protected], while registration inquiries should go to CMP’s Alana Kelly at [email protected].

The CMP Junior Air Rifle Camp was established in 1997 by Gary Anderson, then Director of Wolfcreek Shooting Complex in Atlanta, Georgia. The program was fully adopted by the CMP in 2000 after initial support in 1999. Over time, the camps have expanded with new disciplines and locations across the nation while maintaining their core mission of providing quality instruction to help athletes achieve their goals.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered nonprofit corporation dedicated to firearm safety and marksmanship training, as well as promoting marksmanship competition among U.S. citizens. More details about CMP programs can be found at thecmp.org.
