OUTINGS

LEHIGH VALLEY SPORTING CLAYS   

 Sporting clays originated in England and was created to provide a recreational activity for hunters and individuals who enjoy shooting sports. Each station is in a different setting and has a variety of target presentations. This keeps the sport not only interesting but also challenging. Sporting clays is one of the fastest growing outdoor activities in the country.  And with three levels of courses artfully etched into an abandoned 1800s cement quarry, you’ll enjoy our stunning grounds, helpful staff and elite target presentations distinctly designed to blow other sports away. 

  Not skeet, not trap … think golf with a shotgun.  

GOLF OUTING

 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF INDUSTRIAL HISTORY (NMIH) RECEPTION
