 For both sessions, campers will be split into two groups, advanced and beginner,
based on several factors including age, experience, and competitive
goals.
The advanced camp is designed
as a competition training camp that focuses not only on form
and shooting, but also on all the other critical parts of
archery that competitive shooters must know. Archers currently
involved in Stanford's JOAD programs should sign up for the
advanced camp.
The beginner camp will teach
similar skills, though at a slightly more basic level.
It is intended for kids who are new to the sport and looking
for a positive first experience with archery.
During the camp, archers will not only become proficient in
shooting a bow, but will also receive instruction on other archery
essentials such as bow tuning, arrow maintenance, self-analysis,
troubleshooting and tournament etiquette. Additional activities
will include arrow making, target making, and various fun shoots
(balloon shoots, etc).
Both beginner and advanced archers will receive high level
instruction from experienced members of the Stanford Archery
Team. Because of the excellent student-to-counselor ratio,
the specific camp activities can be tailored to the
attending archers.
For many of the archers, the camp is a launching
pad for participation in our JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery
Development) program which meets every Sunday. Learn more

JOAD program.
