Outdoor Education Programs
Archery (1 - 2 hours)
Bows and arrows have been used for centuries for hunting and protection. At South Mountain YMCA, archery provides an opportunity to challenge yourself both mentally and physically. Students learn the importance that a recurve bow has served to past cultures and their use today. At the archery range, our focus is on safety first and personal growth second. Students will find that success with a bow and arrow is measured by improvement, not by bulls-eyes. Qualified instructors ensure safe and controlled instruction during this program.

Participants will learn the importance of firearm safety and how to properly shoot air rifles. A trained and certified instructor leads the group through the safety procedures of a standard shooting range. This ensures that each participant is learning under the guidance of a qualified individual. [Physical Activity 10.4]
