Overview

We’re not this good … yet.

But we are getting closer to this.

And this we eventually do

...FUN we have all the time.

This camp is mainly archery, but because campers arms get sore and fatigue sets in other sporting activities will occur as needed and wanted by the campers, including learning to throw a boomerang so it has a chance of coming back to the thrower.

Purpose

1) Fun

2) Recreational

3) Learning archery with safety for all

Clout Archery. Clout archery is derived from medieval warfare where archers would fire arrows onto the advancing army some distance away. A target measuring 15 meters in diameter is marked on the ground, with a triangular marker flag at its centre. The archer's task is to shoot arrows towards this target from varying distances, trying to get as close as possible to the target flag.

Participants are allowed/encouraged to bring their own equipment to use and share with others.

No sandals or flip flops - running shoes are a must.
