The Dartmouth Archery Team/Club is a sub-club of the DOC with weekly practices aimed at teaching students archery and providing a space for them to have fun and shoot safely. We will run practices 2-3 times a week, weather permitting. Practices include shooting at a variety of targets and bows as well as participating in Archery Tag. Further, students will have the chance to meet guest bowmakers and master archers on one occasion in the form of a guest demonstration. Students do not need to have any experience or equipment of their own, but experienced archers are welcome! Students may bring their own bow (just make sure it is registered with Safety and Security). Students should sign up for trips on the DOC Trailhead and join our GroupMe as that is where practices will be posted. Link to the GroupMe https://groupme.com/join_group/37128447/Fb1KK9

Do you want to learn how to whitewater kayak?? Do you already know how to whitewater kayak and move on to intermediate tricks/techniques???? If the answer is yes to either, check out the 24X Kayak rolling class! Absolutely no kayaking experience is necessary to participate and we more than encourage beginners to sign up! Developing a solid kayak roll is a fundamental skill of this sport and having one will open up opportunities for more advanced trips with Ledyard as well as the ability to goof around on rivers whether thats surfing waves, throwing yourself into holes, or other silly tricks. So if you have any kind of interest in the sport, sign up for this PE class and get 1 on 1 instruction, first access to beginner and intermediate whitewater trips, and get to enjoy time spent on the river during these hot summer days!!!!
