Our Story Starts Outdoors
Teaching the Next Generation to Hunt, Fish, and Play the Right Way.
The Heart of Our Mission
In today’s world, kids spend more time on screens than under the sun. At Hunt Fish Play, we believe the outdoors is
still the best classroom there is. We create opportunities for kids and families to experience hunting, fishing,
camping, and outdoor education — the right way. It’s not just about the catch or the harvest. It’s about patience,
respect, discipline, and the life lessons that come from spending time in nature. Our mission is to help families
reconnect, learn, and grow together, one adventure at a time.
WHAT WE DO
We Dont't just talk about theOutdoors. We Live it.
Through hands-on events, mentorship programs, and outdoor adventures, we give kids the tools and
confidence to explore, learn, and develop lifelong respect for the outdoors.
Youth Hunts
Safe, guided hunts where kids
learn responsibility, firearm
safety, and ethics.
Fishing Days
Fun, family-friendly events where
kids learn how to fish and
connect with nature.
Outdoor Skills & Camping
From cooking outdoors to setting
up camp, these experiences build
teamwork and confidence.
Mentorship & Education
Teaching outdoor ethics,
conservation, and respect for
wildlife.
Media & Storytelling
Capturing and sharing our
adventures to inspire others to
get outdoors.
Building a Movement
It’s about creating moments that
pull us away from technology
and back into something real.
Why It Matters
It’s About More Than Hunting and Fishing.
The outdoors teaches lessons that can’t be learned from a screen - patience, focus, courage, and gratitude.
Our goal is to help kids build character, confidence, and connection through every experience. When families step
outside together, something powerful happens, walls come down, laughter returns, and kids rediscover who they are. That’s what makes Hunt Fish Play more than an organization. It’s a movement.
Meet The Founders
Founder
Patrick Tarlton
Patrick Tarlton has always believed
that the best lessons in life come
from the outdoors. As a father and
lifelong outdoorsman, he’s seen
firsthand how time spent hunting,
fishing, and camping can change a
kid’s life — teaching patience,
purpose, and respect. He founded
Hunt Fish Play to pass those lessons
on — not just to his own family, but
to kids and parents everywhere who
want to experience what the
outdoors truly has to offer.
