Archery Sign Ups
It’s that
time of year again…summer! For Parks and Rec, summer means beach
weather, concerts and archery. Last year, our trial archery offering
was a huge success, and we’re happy to offer it again. Registrations
are currently being accepted, now through July 13. The cost to register
is $15.00 per child, with a family cap of $30.00. Register online (www.barnsteadrec.org/archery)
and deliver payment and a signed waiver to the new BPR drop box located
just outside the entrance to the town offices, or deliver your paper
registration, payment and waiver to the drop box. Checks should be
payable to Barnstead P&R. In addition, you can visit us at one of our
upcoming in-person sign up nights, to be announced. At the time of
registration, please be sure to let us know if your child is a Belknap
County 4H member. If your child is new to archery, we encourage you to
visit us in person so we can answer your questions and be sure he or she
is appropriately sized for our equipment.
Classes
will run at Big River Recreation Area each Friday beginning on July 18,
2014, and will continue through the fall. Archers will be grouped by
age, with children aged 8-12 shooting from 5:00-6:30 pm, and children 13
and older shooting from 6:30-8:00 pm (or until dark). Children must
bring their own arm guard and safety glasses. Children in the 8-12
group must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. Water
and hot dogs will be available for purchase, and we welcome volunteers
to assist with sales. Please contact Lyla if you are willing to help ([email protected]).
Finally, Parks and Recreation will gladly accept donated latex balloons
for use on the targets. As always, thank you for your support of this
and all Parks and Recreation programs.
