The Department of Natural Resources is offering a free basic archery instructor (BAI) course, Wednesday, Aug. 29, at the Owosso High School in Owosso, located in Shiawassee County.
The eight-hour session, which begins at 8 a.m., is for physical education teachers who wish to join the DNR's Archery in the Schools program. Teachers attending the session will receive .7 SB-CEU's from the Michigan Department of Education.
Archery in the Schools introduces international-style target archery to students in 4th through 12th grade physical education classes. The in-school curriculum's core content covers archery history, safety, technique, equipment, mental concentration and self-improvement. To date, more than 160 schools across Michigan have implemented the program.
"Target archery is a safe sport, in which students of all skill levels can be successful regardless of age, size or physical ability," said Mary Emmons, coordinator for the Archery in the Schools program. "Incorporating archery as a school sport choice in the physical education curriculum creates an opportunity to engage students who otherwise may not participate in traditional athletics in an individual sport they can enjoy throughout their lifetime."
To register for this BAI class or more information, contact Mary Emmons at (517) 241-9477; e-mail emmonsm@michigan.gov, or visit the DNR Web site at www.michigan.gov/dnrarchery.
The DNR also is offering archery equipment grants to schools, both public and private, that enroll in the Archery in the Schools program.
