Programs


Stanford Archery hosts programs specifically for Stanford students, faculty and staff as well as those open to the greater public. Descriptions of ongoing programs are below.


Stanford Programs (Open to Stanford Community)


To get the latest news on schedules and sign-ups for events open only to Stanford students, faculty and staff, subscribe to our Stanford Programs mailing list.

Beginner Practices	Doing archery for the first time? Tried it at camp and want to improve your skills? If you're a Stanford affiliate -- student, faculty or staff -- sign up for our beginner practices. Beginner practices are free of charge and equipment is provided. Typically, one beginner practice is held each week. Check out the Calendar page for upcoming practice dates. Please note that due to equipment and space limitations, undergraduates are given priority in the sign-up process.

Competitive Team	In addition to holding recreational practices, Stanford Archery fields a nationally-competitive team. Team members are typically drawn from those who attend beginner practices. If you're interested in joining the team, read more about our Recruiting Program.



Community Programs (Open To The Public)


For email updates about Stanford Archery programs open to the general public, subscribe to our Community Programs mailing list.

Private Coaching	The Stanford Archery Team offers private coaching lessons open to the general public and the Stanford community. Coaching sessions are led by the top, most experienced archers on Stanford's nationally competitive team. All ages and experience levels are welcome. For more information, visit the private lessons page.

Summer Camp	The Stanford Archery Program runs two 4-day summer camps for both beginners and more advanced archers. Registration for our 2008 Summer Camp will open in the Spring. For more information, visit the summer camp page.

Junior Olympic Archery Development	Stanford's JOAD program, for children ages 7-18, is a blend between Summer Camp and Private Lessons and is part of a national program designed to encourage children's participation in archery. It offers kids a chance to train for competitions and get to know other local archers while improving fundamental skills, learning advanced techniques, and perfecting an individual and consistent shooting style. JOAD meets once per week. For more information, visit the JOAD page.

Group/Corporate Events	The Stanford Archery Program is now hosting archery events for groups of 10-15 people! These events are great for corporate team-building and student group bonding as well as birthday parties and family reunions. No archery experience is necessary. Sessions last two hours and are held on the range. For more information, visit the group/corporate events page.
