The Summer Camp Program will be taught by Paul Farbman who is a USA Archery (USAA) Certified Level 4-NTS Coach and Makanalani Thatcher who is a USA Archery (USAA) Certified Level 2 Instructor.
All equipment (bow, arrow and safety) is included in the $200 rate for the 5 day session. Registration and payment are required prior to the starting date of the session you wish to enroll your child in.
The program is specifically designed for first-time students who may have been interested in trying archery and is focused on introducing these new students to the basics of archery so that they learn correct processes while having FUN! On the concluding Friday of each week-long session, there is an in-house tournament for the students. Each camp week’s lesson plan is the same as those prior.
In addition to shooting, during the week session all students will learn about the following (but not limited to) schedule outlined below.
Parents and families are welcome to watch 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.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, we will only be holding 1 summer camp session during the 2020 summer.
This will be the week of Monday, July 20, 2020 – Friday, July 24, 2020 with a maximum of 11 students and rotating lines to ensure safe distancing is maintained.
Masks covering the nose and mouth will be required at all times while in the range by any participant and all spectators on the day of the Friday tournament.
