My kids loved every moment! They were ready for the next year before the week ended. One of my kids got sick and the staff went above and beyond to care for him and keep me informed. I never had one worry!

Smart Slider 3 is the best slider that i’ve tried so far. There’s so many useful functions and easy to understand how to use it.

I look forward to Tara Archery Camp each summer. It is a welcome break and always lots of fun. The camps have taught me how to bow hunt the right way and have given me encouragement.
