Below, we list cities across the country. Find your city, and the list linked to will include camps offering archery.
Across our site, there are a number of different ways kids can learn more about archery:
Overnight archery camps are listed above. These allow you to immerse yourself in camps
Archery lessons for kids are found in cities across the country.
Day camps with archery will likely combine this sport with lots of other activities.
Archery has a long history, going back to a time before recorded history, one of the aspects that makes it uniquely interesting for kids. Here’s a quick glance at some of the distinct benefits of getting kids involved with archery and having them develop skills in this sport:
It's uniquely inclusive. No matter who they are, kids can enjoy archery equally. You can pull a bow from a wheelchair. Illness does not affect performance. It’s a sport that de-emphasizes physical attributes like strength, height, and speed, favoured in so many other sports (more below).
It's remarkably safe. Statistics show that archery is much safer than many of the most popular sports, including, of course, basketball, soccer, football, and many others. For example, basketball causes over 20 injuries per thousand participants, while archery results in less than one injury per thousand kids.
It teaches goal setting. It’s an individual sport with singularly clear feedback. Target practice in archery gives kids immediate, based on adjustments from one shot to the next.
Archery teaches skills and values not favoured in other sports. Some of the qualities and skills promoted uniquely in archery include patience and coordination.
It improves eyesight. You force your eyes to work in different ways, when practicing archery. This can have practical application for skills improvement in other sports, anything from goaltending in hockey to hitting in baseball.
It improves hand-eye coordination. In archery, you use your hands and physical balance in a way not applied in any other physical activity.
Learning archery should also appeal to fans of fantasy games and films. Some characters you can emulate include Hawkeye from the Marvel Universe, Vaan from the Final Fantasy game series, and Legolas from the Lord of the Rings series.
Some sports, as mentioned above, benefit from participation in archery. Still other camps complement an interest in archery or vice versa. We encourage you to explore related camp types like the following:
Multi-sports camps expose kids to other athletic and fitness opportunities. Kids and teens in these programs discover sports that are new to them that they may not have tried before, that stretch their interests.
Strength and conditioning camps target specific exercise groups and develop muscles that will help them play better badminton and other sports.
Many camps listed above are traditional kids camps, where kids and teens looking for something different might eventually consider other, closely related kinds of camps like kids’ adventure camps and travel camps for teens.
No matter what camp you are looking for, the annual Toronto summer camp expo offers a wide array of options. You can meet camp representatives face to face, and ask them whatever questions you have.
