Archery in the Schools

The goal of this program is to provide middle school children with the ingredients to become involved in a life skill that has no barriers.  Unlike many school activities, students of all sizes can easily be involved in archery. Archery allows students to be taught a safe, lifetime skill they can practice almost anywhere.
