For the first time, Harrison Parks & Recreation is offering traditional archery lessons for kids and adults via Crooked Creek Archery!
Archery offers significant physical and mental benefits, acting as a full-body workout that builds upper body strength (arms, back, shoulders, & core) while improving hand-eye coordination, balance, and focus. Mentally, it promotes relaxation, mindfulness, stress relief, and confidence through achieving goals and mastering a skill, while also fostering patience, persistence, and social connection. It is a truly lifetime recreational pursuit that people of all ages can enjoy together.
Crooked Creek Archery instructors Kimberly Fulton and Kas Skaggs have a combined 25+ years of experience teaching archery to kids, families, and adults. They specialize in recreational target archery; their classes are a great starting point for learning (or re-learning) the basics of the sport. Both have reached certified Level 2 instructor status with USA Archery, the sport's national governing body for Olympic competition.
If you're over seven years old, they have a class for you!
