Ted Nugent made a public request to fellow rock musician Sammy Hagar for financial support for his children’s charity. He discussed this in a statement shared on Ted Nugent.
The statement noted Nugent’s fundraising efforts for his charity. It also covered his approach to seeking donations from friends in the music industry.
“I’ve never asked anybody ever,” Nugent said. “I’ve raised tens of millions of dollars by signing guns and bows and arrows and skulls and antlers and guitars. Literally, I think we’re over 30 million bucks that I have raised with my signature.”
Nugent explained the success of his request. He also described the purpose of his charity work.
“So you know what I send out a request to my friends and Sammy Hagar cut a big check to the Ted Nugent Camp for Kids Charity,” he continued.
“We teach them safe responsible firearms handling the discipline of the mystical flight of the arrow and how to catch fish and provide the ultimate diet of natural organic renewable wildlife for the children and their families.”
Nugent’s charitable efforts through his camp demonstrate a long-standing commitment to youth outdoor education. This program has expanded into a significant initiative across various states.
Ted Nugent’s official website revealed that the Ted Nugent Kamp for Kids was founded in 1990. The camp now offers day-long outdoor sessions for children aged 8–15 in Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, and South Dakota.
The camp’s curriculum includes archery, air guns, fishing, wildlife calling, outdoor survival, first aid, and lessons on ethics and wildlife respect. Nugent attends as many sessions as possible to deliver his message and provide campfire performances.
