YOUTH/ TEENS
JUNIOR OLYMPIC ARCHERY DEVELOPMENT (JOAD) Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) is a program of USA Archery that teaches archery to young people, provides great opportunities for awarding achievement, and helps archers to enjoy the sport recreationally or progress to the excitement of competition! JOAD offers both recurve and compound archers the opportunity to learn range safety and proper shooting technique in an environment that also fosters focus, increased self- confidence, and team building skills. JOAD is open to any youth archer aged 8 to 20 and is designed to grow with the youth archer. Introductory JOAD classes teach the fundamentals of proper shooting form; as the young archer develops, they will learn more advanced techniques. Both recurve and compound bows are used in club activities and in tournaments. JOAD archers who use a compound bow can train to compete in local and regional tournaments, and can earn a seat on a youth world team to compete in other countries representing the United States on behalf of USA Archery. Recurve archers can compete likewise, with the added benefit of being able to use their recurve bow to try out for a spot on the US Olympic Archery team which is selected and managed by USA Archery. Whether your child’s interest is purely recreational or an Olympic, Paralympic or World Championship dream, USA Archery’s JOAD program is tailored to help the young archer achieve their goals. WRANGLERS OF THE WILD WEST Have you ever wished you could go back to the days of the Wild West? Stop wishing and come join us for three days of wonder as we explore the fun of the frontier! We’ll spend two days learning skills that were used in the old days like lariat braiding, roping, and archery. We will also play western themed games and make authentic crafts. All of these activities lead up to the final day when we will head over to the Bay Area Equestrian Center for a day of horseback riding! At BAEC we will learn the basics of grooming, safety on and around horses, and the foundations of riding. There’s no doubt that every camper will leave this week feeling like a true Wild West Wrangler! Campers must wear long pant jeans, boots with a heel, and a helmet (can be provided if needed) on the final day of camp. $150 residents / $187.50 non-residents 7–15 years RCN / BAEC 8145, Wed. – Fri., Jan. 2–4, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.
