4-H Archery Camp

The Oklahoma 4-H Archery program continues to grow each and every year. We are excited about the opportunities that this program provides our 4-H youth and look forward in developing programs that enhance youth’s project skills in archery and wildlife.

This year the Creek County 4-H and Creek Nation will be offering a Summer Archery Camp that is for youth ages 9-19 who are interested in learning more about the 4-H Archery Program. The Camp will be held at Lake Eufaula on June the 10th and 11th and the cost will be $35/camper. The camp will concentrate on developing archery skills as well as learning about wildlife habitats and proper gaming techniques.

Archery Skills

Youth will participate in hands on training activities and will learn from guest archery instructors about proper archery techniques and shooting methods. The training hours received while at archery camp can be supplemented for youth training hours needed to participate in 4-H archery events (does not count for Hunter Safety Certification).

LIVING HISTORY

Youth will participate in variety of workshops that educate them on the history of archery, how bows are made, identifying animal tracks, proper tracking techniques, and proper ways to field dress wildlife for food consumption and mounting.
