Our Land Sports Program includes archery, a timeless camp activity that helps boys develop more than just coordination. Archery teaches focus, patience, self-discipline, and goal setting all within a fun, low-pressure environment. Learn how this classic sport is helping campers grow at Camp Shohola.

Archery Builds Mental Focus and Physical Control

Archery isn’t just about hitting the target, it’s about slowing down and zoning in. Campers learn to:

• Control their breath

• Steady their posture

• Maintain focus under pressure

These lessons translate into better concentration and self-regulation off the range, too whether it’s in school or daily life.

Skill Progression That Matches Every Camper

Whether your son is a total beginner or has some experience, Shohola’s archery instructors meet him where he is. Campers receive individualized coaching, starting with fundamentals and progressing through distance challenges and accuracy drills.

There’s no pressure to compete, it’s about growth, personal bests, and having fun.

Safety and Encouragement Come First

All archery sessions are run by trained staff who ensure that campers understand and follow strict safety protocols. Gear is provided and maintained by the camp. More importantly, every camper is encouraged and recognized for their effort, not just results.

This makes archery an inclusive, empowering experience for all boys regardless of athletic background.

Final Thoughts – Steady Hands, Strong Minds

Archery at Camp Shohola helps boys do more than just learn a sport it helps them slow down, focus, and grow. It’s an activity that’s equal parts relaxing and rewarding, giving campers new confidence with every draw of the bow.
