Ardent OG Program Facts

Learn more about the impact of our programs

Since the inception of Big Fish and Fry in winter of 2017, our Day program has taken thousands of kids out ice fishing. The Overnight Program has hosted events that have introduced over 100 individuals to Overnight ice fishing.

Ardent Archers has had a total of 80 participants go through the program. All participants purchased deer licenses and left the program fully equipped to continue their hunting careers.

Of the 80 Ardent Archers to have gone through the program, 18 of the individuals were women.

Ardent Alpinists was formed in Spring of 2019. The inaugural program consisted of 15 novice climbers.

Over 80% of the participants from Ardent Archers and Ardent Alpinists have been veterans.

The other 20% are civilians who went through the program in conjunction with the DNR and U.S. fish and wildlife.
