Want something fun to do over April break?

Experience the exciting Olympic sport of Archery in a natural setting

Hike the beautiful woods right here in Greenwich

Learn outdoor survival skills

It's like summer camp in the spring for Ages 8-13! 

Come join G1on1 and our partner, Greenwich After School Archery at Cos Cob Archers, for an exciting week of archery and outdoor exploration.   Kids will be divided into two sections by grade (elementary and middle school) and activities will be specifically tailored to meet the interests and abilities of the age group. 

Your four days will include:

Archery – Day 1 & 2:  Learn or improve your basic archery skills and then practice those skills over two days of shooting while hiking our 23-acre course. Day 1 will be “field archery”, where you’ll be shooting at a variety of paper targets. This will sharpen your skills for day 2 when you’ll “hunt” 3-D animals including ”lions and tigers and bears”. You’ll even get to make your own arrow!

Wilderness Survival Skills – Day 3:   Team-based activities will focus on teaching you basic outdoor skills including rope tying, shelter building, fire building (older group), how to use a compass, and animal tracking.

Hiking – Day 4 will be an exploration and team scavenger hike which will bring us from Cos Cob Archers to the Pinetum, a town owned park and preserve. We’ll also explore the Pomerance property, one of the newest additions to the Greenwich park system and the home of the “gnome house”.

                                  …and there will be interesting and fun surprise activities too!
