## About

Kids ages 8 and older can try archery for free at the Lake Poway Archery Range during this Junior Olympic Archery Development (JOAD) day. Coaches introduce the basics of safe shooting, stance and aiming, and all equipment is provided, so no prior experience or gear is needed. The one-hour session is a low-pressure way for children who are curious about the sport to find out whether they would enjoy a youth archery program before committing to lessons. Spaces are limited and must be reserved ahead by email with the coach listed on the city's event page. Lake Poway itself makes a good half-day outing afterward, with lakeside trails, picnic areas and playgrounds; non-residents pay a parking fee at the lake.
