NORA’s Youth Archery program offers year-round opportunities for beginners through intermediate-level archers to learn, grow, and have fun in the sport. Our clinics and camps emphasize safety first, with every session reviewing proper shooting techniques and range protocols. In the spring, archers can take their skills to the next level by joining a team that practices together and competes in a tournament on the east side of the state. All programs are under the guidance of USA Archery Certified Instructors and follow the USA Archery curriculum. Thanks to our partnership with the North Ottawa Rod & Gun Club, participants enjoy outdoor shooting as long as the weather allows before moving indoors for winter sessions.
