Norva Archery Range

I teach first time and intermediate archers how to safely and effectively use a bow and arrow at the NORVA Archery Range in Fairfax Station. I have had success teaching people from age 6-80 in small groups of 2-16 as well as personalized, one-on-one sessions. I am a Certified Level II Archery instructor, so part of my responsibilities on the range include.

I planned and executed programs to teach school-age children engineering concepts using Lego components. During the school year I would run after school programs, and in the summers I worked full time running daily Play Well Summer camp programs. I taught children from ages 4-12 practical lessons about cooperation and problem solving as well as real.
