“My daughter had no idea she would love archery so much, between learning to shoot an arrow and making monster targets, she can’t get enough. Every week she gets so excited when we approach the day. We even bought a set for our own backyard!”
— Angela Attia, parent
How it works:
Participants are taught the basics of shooting a traditional bow. Then, they use specialized tools and art materials to create monsters out of cardboard -- and use them as targets! Our arrows are rubber tipped, which is both a safer and more exciting alternative to standard field points - rubber tips make for dramatic knock downs and a satisfying “thwack” against 3D cardboard enemies!
“Lewis is an incredible educator, and his Rangers program is truly special. It has supported my son so much, helping him experience the important combination of both focus and joy simultaneously.”
— Mary Farkas, parent
