Through outdoor education, we aim to foster responsible environmental stewardship and a deeper connection to nature. Research shows that time spent outdoors improves mental well-being, cognitive function, and problem-solving skills, while enriching overall quality of life. This program promotes ecological literacy and conservation-minded values, which are key to addressing today’s environmental challenges. Join us for an introductory archery session where no prior experience is required! Whether you're a beginner or have some skill under your belt, all levels are welcome. During this session, participants will learn about archery and archery hunting equipment and gear, basic techniques, as well as safety rules and precautions. Our instructors will guide you through the basics of proper form, mechanics and marksmanship using both a recurve and a compound bow. Experience the thrill of shooting targets at varying distances on our archery range. Additionally, participants will venture along the 3D archery trail, taking aim at lifelike 3D targets for an immersive experience. Archery is not just about hitting the bullseye, it’s also about focus, precision, and the awesome sensation from releasing an arrow. Come join us for an unforgettable journey into the world of archery! Minimum Attendance Age If a youth is attending without adult accompaniment, they must be 15 years of age or older.
