Archery

The popularity of archery cannot be denied. Regardless of age or skill level, campers flock to the range each summer, and many girls have found an important place for themselves here. Solid instruction and a well equipped range allow for rapid progress from beginner to advanced archer. In a relaxed environment, campers learn proper shooting form, care of equipment, and the importance of mental clarity. Above all, safety considerations are stressed.

For those with a competitive bent, the Brown Ledge Archery Team successfully competes against other Vermont camps throughout the summer. In-camp tournaments also give campers the chance to show off their new shooting skills.
