Archery

Campers interested in Archery at High Rocks can expect a qualified, motivated staff to teach the fundamentals of shooting target arrows from a recurved bow while providing a framework for continuous improvement.  After learning the essential safety principles of archery, the campers’ activity time is spent shooting with staff using specialized drills and games to work on arrow placement and grouping.  As campers meet personal performance benchmarks, the range staff chart their progress and move them back from the target as much as fifty yards to enhance the challenge and fun of shooting.

Using target arrows at distances ranging from fifteen to fifty yards enables our campers to earn achievement certificates as they progress in their skills.  Furthermore, bows in a variety of sizes ensures that campers of varying sizes and ability levels have equipment appropriate for thier stature and skill.  High Rocks is a member of the Camp Archery Association.
