At Camp Pontiac, we believe that summer camp is about more than just fun in the sun; it’s about personal growth, building friendships, and discovering new passions.

Nestled in the scenic landscapes of our East Coast campus, this program provides an engaging and safe environment for campers to explore the art of archery. Whether your child is a beginner or an advanced archer, they will find excitement and camaraderie in our archery program.
The Thrills of Youth Archery
Archery is not only a sport; it’s an experience that combines skill, focus, and a sense of accomplishment. Our youth archery program is designed to cater to both boys and girls, allowing them to hone their skills in a supportive atmosphere. Each gender has its own dedicated archery range, ensuring that all campers feel comfortable and focused while learning the ins and outs of this ancient art.
Benefits of Participating in Archery
- Develops Focus and Concentration
Archery requires intense concentration, which helps children learn to focus on their goals. By engaging in this sport, campers improve their ability to concentrate on tasks, a skill that is valuable both in and out of the classroom. - Encourages Teamwork and Sportsmanship
While archery is often viewed as an individual sport, it fosters a sense of community. Campers will cheer for one another, share tips, and build friendships, learning the importance of sportsmanship and collaboration. - Promotes Physical Fitness
Archery is a fantastic way for campers to stay active. Drawing a bowstring and maintaining proper posture can help build upper body strength and enhances overall motor skills. - Builds Confidence
As campers progress in their skills, they experience a sense of achievement that boosts their self-esteem. Successfully hitting targets and improving their technique helps them realize their potential and build confidence that extends beyond the archery range.
