Join us for a series of 4-H Archery programs, made possible by the Columbia County Youth Bureau. All equipment will be provided. All youth must enroll in 4-H to participate. Due to the generous support of our sponsor, enrollment fees are waived for Columbia County Youth who are not already enrolled and would like to participate in 4-H Archery.
4-H certified instructors supervise each 4-H archery program. Safety is a primary concern. All archers on the range must wear closed-toed shoes. No garden shoes or clogs. Long hair must be up in a ponytail or braid. No Jewelry. All archers must use our equipment. All archers must arrive on time in order to participate in hands-on interaction with a bow. Space is limited and registration is required. Archery is a weather-dependent program and may be canceled in the case of unsafe weather conditions.
Our archery SPIN (Special Interest Club) program will focus on teaching and improving youth’s archery skills while reinforcing safety protocols, proper stance, and technique. Participants will be provided with a series of activities and challenges to help improve their accuracy, skills, and sportsmanship. The archery SPIN club encourages youth to share in a common interest, gain a new skill, and engage in a positive group youth experience.
This series is designed for youth who have previous experience handling a bow. This is a series geared towards improving already existing skills. If you have no prior experience with a bow, consider attending one of the Beginning Archery Clinics on May 10. If you have questions about whether or not you qualify for this program, please contact Sara at [email protected].
