Archery

Bulls-eye

Individual and troop archery instruction is offered at Camps Casa Mare, Misty Meadows, Silver Springs, Robinwood, Agnes Arnold, and Whispering Pines. Instruction is based upon individual skills level and prior experience. All instruction takes place on the archery range so dress for the outdoors. This is a perfect activity for a day trip to camp or for camping troops.

The Bulls-eye program includes a patch or rocker for each girl who participates. If it is a girl’s first time to participate in a Bulls-eye session she will receive a patch; after that girls receive a rocker to begin to build their own “Bulls-eye.” Once a troop has participated in the event, contact Nicole McInnes at 713-292-0353, or nmcinnes@sjgs.org to have patches mailed.
