Joe,
I work a lot with California Waterfowl Association and we host a number of Youth Camps every year to teach new hunter skills. Give the office a call and speak with George Oberstadt. The office number is (916)648-1406. These programs are outstanding for new hunters. I'll attach a link to one of the fliers. You can also look at the Events page on the
www.calwaterfowl.org site to identify potential dates and times:
