A basic archery program for children and teens planned for Veterans Park in Lehigh Acres will be modeled after the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). Basic archery can help to improve a child’s attention, behavior and focus.
The program will be held at the lodge by the lake in Veterans Community Park, 55 Homestead Road South, Lehigh Acres.
Registration is now open. The cost is $25 per child ages 6 to 17. The eight-week program runs from April 8 to May 27. All classes will be held 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays. The Genesis bow and all equipment will be supplied. Recommended CDC guidelines will be followed.
Program organizers are looking for volunteers. Anyone interested in mentoring children may contact Tim Berti at Veterans Park Recreation Center, 239-369-1521 or email tberti@leegov.com.
