MANDATORY ATTENDANCE: The 1st day (Monday) of the camp session CANNOT be skipped.  Failure to attend the first date of camp (Monday) will result in the student being automatically removed from the rest of the course without refund.  Day 1 (Monday) is the main safety course required for any student in our range to be able to utilize our equipment and facility.  

Please consider this requirement, before choosing a camp week session for your student as it will mean you forfeit the paid week, unless advised 14 days prior to be able to reschedule camp week selected.

Minimum Registration Age: 10
(by 1st day of their registered session, non-negotiable)

Maximum, Registration Age: 17
(okay if by 18 by last day of their registered session)

Previous Experience: None to limited

How Many Sessions Can We Do?:  We HIGHLY suggest against having any student sign up for / attend more than 1 session since the program outline and learning syllabus remains the exact same, session over session to give NEW archers first hand experience (see “Daily Camp Schedule 2022 Outline” section below.  Once your archer is past this session, other limited possibilities might become available, based on their safety level during camp.

All equipment (bow, arrow and safety) is included

$450 rate for the 5 day session (12.5 hour week).

The Seasonal “Summer” Camp Program will be lead by Coach Makanalani F. Thatcher and additionally taught by Coach Paul Farbman for the whole group.  Both coaches are USA Archery (USAA) Certified Level 4-NTS Coach & Level 2 Judges.

The program will also have additional 1-2 established in-house Advanced or Elite level archery students (per week session) that will act as dedicated “Trainee Instructors” that will be assigned to “break-out” groups of 3-4 students each, depending on the age group, to help give each new archer a more dedicated experience within the program.

For Registered Archers of the Summer Camp:

1. Registered Student may remove their mask during the week of shooting, IF they either show the card on Day 1 or pre-submit a vaccination card to have on file (as al of our other in-house archery group program students do; partial, full or full+booster are all acceptable)
   
   OR
   
   
2. Registered Student may still  participate but will be required to keep their mask on during the camp & while actively near other students

We require this for the students specifically for a few reasons:

1. All archers will be actively sharing equipment as we work to find the best fit for them during the week (bows, arrows, finger tabs, etc) based on age, stregthn and skills exhibited.  This is shared equipment that may come into contact with the mouth, face, and hands (hands then contact the face) of other archers and we want to keep the health of all.
2. We wish to avoid any kind of potential general sharing of any serious viruses (flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, COVID, etc) by any students and Coaches/Instructors who may participate that have lower immunity tolerance than others.  This includes both from the camp as well as our private students and our other in-house program students who use the same equipment daily.

For Parents of Registered Archers of the Summer Camp: 

While parents may enter the location without a mask during Drop Off & Pick Up, we ask that they exit before class begins (since our Instructors / Coaches will not be wearing masks during active training more than likely so that students can hear the lesson more clearly). 

Additionally, we do ask that all spectating families respect each other by social distancing from other each families’ chosen sitting benches (each family gets 1 bench for spectating), particularly on tournament day (Friday) of a camp session.

Please note that the above requirements “might” be removed by the time of the actual session (not guaranteed), and only at the discretion of the range and it’s Coaches / Instructors.  See “Range Policy: COVID-19 Safety Requirements & Updates“ for more updated information

Parents / Guardians are welcome to come in to see the location their students will shoot on the first day of the camp (Monday) if they arrive before 10:30 AM, but we request that they exit the premises before we are able to actively begin the program. This helps to ensure that all students are focused when we begin training at 10:30 AM sharp and that attention is not distracted.

During the primary portion of the camp week, we request that parents drop off / pick up only, again for focus and attention of the students.

Watching is allowed and encouraged for the last day (Friday) during the tournament to see what your child has learned and achieved during the week.  See next section for “Guidelines For Watching The Friday Tournament“

While Parents and families will be able to watch in person on the last day of the program during the tournament, we ask that there are no disruptions to the tournament in process as it will be run in accordance to the official tournament protocol as laid out by USA Archery Guidelines.

Parents, guardians and family members will allowed be allowed inside to watch the tournament in person.  We may need to limit the spectator allowance per family depending on the number of registered students in each group for space and health reasons, due to our own in-house COVID-19 protocols that are range specifically and in place for the safety and assurance of other regular range students who may share the same equipment the rest of the year.

In the event that we cannot Safely have all parents/families in the range at the same time with the students on the day of the Friday tournament (due to health requirements as outlined by our COVID-19 in-house specific range policy) we will we will advise families and have an alternative method to ensure families can still watch their archers.

Cancellation / Refund Policy located here. 

Please note: cancellation past the 7 day minimum requirement, will void refund possibility per policy.  You may still be able to roll over but refunds are not possible since less than 7 business days might not provide us ample time to replace your student’s spot.  Should we be able to replace their spot, this will be reconsidered upon payment of the new student

If you need to request change of session chosen due to the student being required to miss the Monday of an official registered session, please contact range directly (Attention To Coach Lani: contact@southbayarcherylessons.com) 

A physical printed copy of the Summer Camp Program Workbook will be provided to all students on day 1.  This book should be brought with them each day as it contains the items we will review each day as well as the morning quiz to ensure they remember what was reviewed the day before.

Additionally, there is a digital version of this handbook available for parents to view, using a a student specific password.  This password will be given to each individual student at the end of Day.  This is to ensure that the student has successfully attended and completed the Day 1 portion of the summer camp, which is mandatory in order to continue the week.
