Archery and the Natural State

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn new activities. Arkansas is known as the natural state where archery and hunting are common. Our low income students deserve an opportunity to learn about archery and their state.

My Project

Kids that go to camp always remember the chance they had to learn how to use a bow and arrow. By receiving this equipment, students will have an opportunity to develop skills particularly useful to the state that they live in.

Archery is a lifelong skill that all students remember for their lives.

Students that normally don't like physical activities will have the chance to explore something new that has never been offered in the area and lets them take a chance on something new.

This is one of those activities that is necessary in life to develop discipline and patience and at the same time create an appreciation for physical activities. The social development and team building opportunities are also available with such an activity. Archery is not a topic to be ignored and should available to students of all incomes.
