Archery for teens and kids is still an amazingly popular thing to do at camp. Even if you’ve never held a bow before, let alone shot an arrow, it doesn’t take long to figure out the basics. Of course, like any sport, it takes practice, but before you know it, you’ll feel really good about hitting the target, even getting a bullseye.
The Ancient Origins of Archery
Archery is a really old activity. Some of the oldest arrowheads found are more than 70,000 years old, for example! It’s literally pre-historic! When you think about it, archery has been a part of probably every society to some extent. Archery appears to have arisen in Africa and then spread widely, with evidence of it being a central part of hunting cultures around the world. Wow! And now here it is at a summer camp for girls called Rockbrook! We’re following in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors.
