If you are wanting to do something fun over your spring break, archery camp would be a great activity. Although the maximum age is 13, it is a great experience. The YMCA is hosting a trip to the Blue Mountain Archery Range for archers to test their archery skills. Archers will be taught safety points and will be in a very safe environment. Archery games such as shooting balloons and tic-tac-toe will be included at the range. The YMCA will be providing transportation. The camp will be from April third to April seventh, from 10 am to noon. If you are not interested in doing a camp, but still want to try archery, the YMCA will also have beginner archery classes. They start on April tenth and end on May tenth.
