Oxford Dictionary provides an accurate summation of our forthcoming after-school program. Archery anchors our explorations across the Shire as our young Rovers find and make their mark throughout.
Our weekly 2-hour after-school courses in Roving and Beginning Archery initiate students into the wonders of this ancient tradition in a natural setting that invites exploration. From forest to meadow, high ground to boggy creek, students inevitably come to know the living community of the Shire––a region Native Americans call “The Beloved Land,” a legacy still celebrated here.
Roving Archery is reserved for advanced students and others with a solid foundation in the practice of the art. Our practice is dynamic––spacial and temporal––and brings into play woodcraft and earthlore. Rovers will learn aspects of range design and secrets of the Fletcher’s craft––recommended ages are 9 to 15.
