In Oklahoma, OKNASP promotes physical education by providing target archery training to the state’s youth.
Designed for 4th-12th graders, the curriculum covers archery history, safety, techniques, equipment, mental concentration and self-
improvement.
How can your school join the program?
Teachers attend an eight-hour National Archery Association training class taught by certified
Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation instructors. They return to their schools fully prepared to teach the two-week archery course to
their students.
What is required of teachers?
Teachers must simply attend a free one-day workshop conducted by OKNASP certified instructors. Topics
covered will include range set up, running a safe archery range, building student skills, equipment maintenance and more. If you are interested
in attending a workshop, please contact the OKNASP coordinator. Once a teacher has completed the training course, their school is eligible to
purchase an equipment kit.

Oklahoma Aquarium
The Aquarium is gaining a reputation as a top destination spot in northeast Oklahoma. The Aquarium, located
along the bank of the Arkansas River in Jenks, features 200 exhibits, including a 400,000-gallon shark tank.
The facility also showcases many of Oklahoma's native fish species.
To complement its recreational appeal, the Aquarium also has five "wet labs" where students can conduct
freshwater and marine experiments. As a whole, the facility functions as a learning laboratory for students of
all ages. Along with a wide array of natural exhibits, the Aquarium will offer plenty of thrills, including a shark
viewing dome that puts visitors within inches of these majestic fish.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation’s Tulsa-area offices are located at the Aquarium
complex.
“We encourage everyone who comes by the Aquarium to stop in and see us,” said Colin Berg, education
supervisor for the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. “Visitors can stop in and pick up a Hunting
Guide, buy a fishing license or find out about other Department services.”
Oklahoma Aquarium offers discounts for hunters and anglers
It pays to be a hunter or angler - at least it does at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks.
Hunters and anglers who show their Oklahoma hunting or fishing license at the Aquarium will receive $2 off the regular admission
price every Tuesday through the end of the year.
