ARCHERY:

Camps are looking for:

  • Individuals who are familiar with different bows within archery from longbow to compact bow
  • Archers who are familiar with archery games that they could use with children at camp
  • Young people who are able to teach archery techniques such as: draw and load, anchor, transfer and hold, aim and expand, release and follow-through and other techniques to children at summer camp.

As an archery instructor you are expected to be:

  • Hard-working
  • Fun and enthusiastic
  • Ability to balance the fundamentals of teaching skills and safety
  • Confident in teaching the principle of archery
  • Patient and understanding with the kids

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD:

Camps are looking for staff members who have worked in a similar role and/or have great personal experience of archery. Therefore, previous experience working with children in a supervisory role and a high level of personal skill in archery is essential for a strong application.

Qualifications: If you would like to lead archery at summer camp consider completing an instructor qualification to increase the chance of being placed. The courses usually take two and a half days to complete, and there are lots of companies that offer these courses. Having awards such as the Arrows Young Leader Award or Archery GB Instructor Award are great assets to your application.

Voluntary work: You could also look into volunteering at an archery club or helping out at a Scout or Girl Guide camp were archery is going to be one of the activities that is involved. Not only will you gain experience teaching archery but also teaching children.

  • Placement at a camp in the USA – we match you with your perfect camp based on your personality, skills and experience
  • Return transatlantic flight with other BUNACers
