JEFFERSON CITY, MO. – The Missouri Department of Conservation’s Runge Conservation Nature Center invites teens and women to develop their archery skills at a free event on Thursday, Aug. 11. The teen lesson, for ages 13-17 years, runs from 9 a.m. to noon with the women’s portion held 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. that same day.
The Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program (MoNASP), taught at many local schools, helps build confidence and empowers individuals with the sport. With the help of instructors using the MoNASP method, this event will help participants learn a new skill or revisit an old one.
Instruction will begin inside the Nature Center and then move outside for a hands-on lesson. All necessary equipment is provided, just come prepared to be involved.
