Campers begin with small, simple bows and arrows and shoot at short distances. As they improve their skill and gain experience, archery staff distance the targets and introduce campers to different types of equipment, such as compound bows.
Staff members are trained by Archery USA as Level 1 Archery Instructors. We supplement this training with Camp-specific training.
As campers earn ranks they learn range safety, the parts of a bow, points on the target and as their aim improves and the ranks increase, campers learn how to string and wax bows and the history of archery.
