RIFLERY

Our program stresses safety, respect, and discipline as a boy advances through a progressive system of riflery awards. Campers are taught to shoot .22 caliber rifles at a distance of 50 feet in four progressively difficult positions starting in prone and progressing through sitting, kneeling, and finally standing. Throughout a given summer almost 35,000 rounds of ammunition are used, making riflery one of our most popular activities.
