Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program
Helps You Change Students’ Lives, One Arrow at a Time
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or school administrator, the Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program can help you build stronger, more confident and accomplished kids. It's modeled on the National Archery in the Schools Program, which began with a simple idea--teach kids the basics of archery as a part of school curriculum. Since its beginning, NASP has attracted hundreds of schools and more than 1.4 million students across the nation.
