The Summer Camp Program will be taught by Paul Farbman who is a USA Archery (USAA) Certified Level 4-NTS Coach & Level 2 Judge and Makanalani Thatcher who is a USA Archery (USAA) Certified Level 3-NTS Coach & Level 2 Judge.
All equipment (bow, arrow and safety) is included in the $250 rate for the 5 day session. Registration, Minor Waiver and payment (through Square Invoice sent to parents after registration completed) are required prior to the starting date of the session you wish to enroll your child in.
The program is specifically designed only 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. The syllabus for each camp session remains the same and does not change week over week. Those who show a continued interest in the sport at the end of their registered session week will have a chance to learn about follow up options at the end of the tournament date.
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 might be able to watch in person on the last day of the program during the tournament. If so, 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.
The ability to have all parent / families allowed inside to watch the tournament in person will depend on the number of registered students in each group for space and health reasons, due to COVID-19 protocols that are in place
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 COVID-19 California Policy) we will live stream the last day tournament on a specific “Unlisted” YouTube link will be provided to parents/guardians on the day of the tournament and have a TV setup outside of the range.
This will allow parents and families, who have the link only, to be able to safely watch from the tournament live on the range TV, from their own mobile devices or from a home computer/smart TVs live.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions and guidelines, we will only allow 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.
