YMCA Camp Jones Gulch
About
We provide beginner lessons on recurve takedown bows at a youth and family camp in a beautiful redwood forest.
I was introduced to archery at a very young age and have been teaching all ages for 6 years.
Archery is great for focus and is something that everyone can do together no matter the skill level. It's a great, afordable way to have fun with the entire family, or just you and your bow.
