Archery is always a popular activity at Camp Conrad Chinnock for many reasons – but the biggest reason is that it’s something you just don’t do at home.  High quality arrows and bows and a trained archery professional works with campers to improve their skill.  Here campers are shooting towards hay bales with many different targets.  If the camper hits a target they get a free sugar-free soda and if you hit two targets you get a free sugar-free snow cone.

At the end of every session we have an archery tournament were all our campers compete with each other for the best.  See?  There are many reasons to love it!

Archery is one of those camp activities that you don’t often do at home. It’s a great chance to try something new – like climbing a mountain, riding a zip line or sleeping overnight in the woods. Diabetes camp gives us the chance to be with friends who share diabetes.

We don’t feel different or weird when we say, “wow, I feel low,” or “I think I’m high.” It’s like archery – at camp, we all feel just like we hit the target on the first try.
