All archers aged 10 and over with a minimum skill level of
Intermediate may attend. Archers are expected to bring
suitable equipment.

The SQAS YOUTH ARCHERY CAMP 2008 is a friendly,
intense program that will challenge archers to look at their
entire training program. Stressing proper bio-mechanics,
advanced technique analysis and general fitness, top-quality
instruction from a team of highly-qualified coaches is
guaranteed for five+ hours per day.
The Advanced Program is geared towards archers focusing
on competition preparation and high-level skill development.
Emphasis will be placed on personal form analysis and
correction and the development of a well-rounded, personal
training program. This stream is particularly suitable for
archers entering the 2009 National Youth Archery
Championships in January.
The Intermediate program is open to all youth archers
with a minimum skill level of Intermediate. Emphasis will be
on developing a personal training program, and improving
consistency and base skill level. This stream is particularly
suitable for archers that have taken a short break from
archery and want to kick-start their archery back into life.
For out-of-town campers, bed & breakfast accommodation
for Thursday night may be available for a modest additional
charge of $35, if there is sufficient interest.
Round the clock supervision is provided and all of our
coaches carry Queensland Blue Cards.
