The 4-H Stamp of Approval

After an intense weekend of classroom instruction and hands-on practical training, I was awarded with a 4-H, level-1, Archery Instructor certification. The training went well beyond my expectations; rather than simply teaching archery, we received a crash course in the fundamentals of teaching the youth and how to reach out to the many different age groups currently involved in 4-H programs.
I was truly amazed at the level of effort and the quality of teaching that I received from the volunteers who taught the various disciplines. It really spoke to me to see a group so dedicated to the 4-H cause. It’s experiences like the one from this weekend that restore my hope for the future of our youth.

Getting some practice in…

Taking all the help I can get…

Flu-flus…

Just missed it…

Applying what we’ve learned…

Wrapping up a wonderful weekend.
