Kawanhee Archery
Many a boy has at one time or another dreamed of shooting a bow. At Kawanhee, those dreams become reality at the Archery Range, where boys receive expert instruction in the use of recurve bows. There is a bow for every age level and degree of strength, and each bow is equipped with a sight to help the camper achieve a high degree of success.

At Kawanhee boys are given the opportunity to earn Camp Archery Association medals, and National Archery Association patches, in addition to the prestigious Kawanhee Robin Hood awards. Campers are also given the opportunity to shoot competitively in tournaments both at Kawanhee and with other camps. Kawanhee has achieved impressive results in tournaments, and has placed second in the state of Maine for the past two years. As a result, Archery continues to be one of the most popular activities in camp.
