If you've been looking to add a new string to your bow, or simply want to take a shot at a different pastime, Westgate Park and Recreation Center might just have the bullseye of an opportunity. Starting this summer, on select Saturdays, the center introduces indoor archery classes aimed at beginners aged 8 and above. In partnership with USA Archery-certified instructors, these sessions are set to equip novices with the basics of bow handling and target shooting.
Classes are scheduled for July 13, August 17, and September 14, each session running from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. For those interested, the center has made it clear that accessibility is a priority, ensuring all equipment is provided on site. At a mere $10 per class, this archery instruction not only promises to be comprehensive, but also affordable. But fair warning, slots are expected to fill quickly, so pulling the trigger on registration sooner rather than later is advised.
And where will these fledgling archers be loosing their first arrows? None other than the Westgate Park and Recreation Center gymnasium, located at 3691 Oswego Ave in West Palm Beach, FL. Nestled conveniently off Oswego Ave, the center is an offshoot of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees a variety of recreational programs throughout the county.
For those now itching to nock their first arrow, registration can be completed online or in person at the recreation center. More information on Westgate's fresh offering, and other county-operated recreation activities, can be found at Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation website. Whether it's to fine-tune your concentration or simply enjoy learning a time-honored sport, these archery classes aim to hit the mark for beginners looking to start on target.
