Our unique archery site at Blackwood Special Schools Outdoor Education Centre makes this lesson safe as well as fully accessible. Sheltered from the weather, archery is a fantastic wet weather activity where you can test your skills by firing arrows onto our archery range.
Archery is a wonderful sport that not everyone has access to. At Blackwood, no matter your prior experience or ability, archery is a great lesson for you to challenge yourself and have fun with your friends. Always presented in a non-competitive atmosphere, the excitement and joy experienced when the arrow hits the target is sensational - while the thrill of popping a balloon is celebrated by all. If your group chooses, you can count your score and add up your tally, or, you can use our colourful chips to create team archery pizzas.
There are four wheelchair accessible archery bays which can be used simultaneously for firing arrows out onto the range hitting the targets. Strict safety guidelines are always adhered to - making the experience challenging and enjoyable for all involved.
