Carver County Parks Launches Indoor Archery Series for Kids in Watertown-Mayer Community Learning Center
As we brace for another winter, Carver County Parks is warming things up with an inviting challenge for the kiddos. In what might just be the perfect antidote to the anticipated cabin fever – and let's face it, screen addiction – Carver County is beckoning children ages 8 to 14 with their Indoor Archery Series. Never shot an arrow? No problem. The series is tailored for beginners and is equipped with all the necessary gear, so participants just need to show up with a willingness to learn.
Starting November 6 and running through November 20, the series will take place on Thursdays from 3:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. at the Watertown-Mayer Community Learning Center. The Indoor Archery Series promises to not only get kids active but also to teach them the basics of archery, including aim, stance, release, and perhaps most importantly, discipline and focus. The cost is $51, and considering the guided instruction by trained staff and the inclusion of all gear, that's a bit of a bargain when it comes to specialized extracurriculars.
Carver County Parks' social media post pitches the series as a "new adventure" for young archers and highlights the program's hands-on nature, making it clear that this isn't about sitting around and listening to lectures – kids will be on their feet, bows in hand, actively engaging in the sport.
Consider this an opportunity to introduce your young ones to a sport that has stood the test of time, dating back thousands of years, yet remains relevant and thrilling even in our digital age. For more information or to register, point your browser arrow to Carver County Parks' website and while you’re at it score a direct hit on fostering a potentially lifelong passion for archery in your children – just don't forget to register before spots vanish like an arrow soaring towards its target.
