Upcoming 2024 Summer Camps
PROGRAM DETAILS
Has your child always been interested in Archery? Give them the best start possible by enrolling them this 5-day, full week program offering campers an immersive archery experience.
Each week we will dive into new archery related themes to keep them engaged and help them relate this millennia old sport to current culture. We have designed the camp to allow for each participant to gain the basics of the Olympic Recurve shot and scoring system while remaining engrossed in archery related games and activities. All culminating on the Friday with a light and friendly competition.
Archery, like most sports, is an activity best performed in moderation and our camp program certainly takes this into consideration! During the day we will be participating on and off in active lessons (up to 3 hours daily) interspersed with fun games and activities that will not break with the overall experience.
WHO CAN ATTEND?
Available to youth between 08 and 16 years of age.
You must be 08 years old prior to the start date of your camp.
