I'm looking for camps or classes in archery for a 10-year-old boy in or around berkeley. Any leads welcome. Jeanne

There are several places in the bay area that have archery classes or where you can find archery ranges. you might try The Bow Rack in Richmond, Chabot Archery Range in the Oakland hills or the Strawberry Canyon Archery Range (?) off of Skyline Blvd (?) to find out if they have classes for children. Good luck. Andrea B.

The Cal Strawberry Canyon camps have archery. See http://www.recsports.berkeley.edu/ "Youth Programs".

Archery: club? I don't know, but I do know a wonderful teacher, Michael Lang who teaches archery in beautiful settings, in a small park in the Berkeley hills. He offers 6 weeks classes, and the new session starts this week-end, January 8th. You can even arrange with Michael to have a birthday party for your child, archery lessons included. Michaels phone: 841-7749 Enjoy! Lilianna

Michael Lang is offering archery instruction (the fine art of drawing bow) at La Loma Park on Saturdays and Sundays -- and a new 6-week session begins this weekend, Sept 6/7. My son studied with him and enjoyed it; I observed and judge his approach as extraordinarily well thought out, gentle and careful and, in a word, inspiring. I think he's a gifted teacher. We first ran into him at the East Bay School of the Arts Summer Camp, and I know he's taught at the summer camps at Strawberry Canyon. Classes are at 9 a.m., 10 a.m., 11 a.m., or noon, on either Saturday or Sunday. He asks that any interested person call him at 841-7749 to check on the availability of space. I wouldn't recommend this for children younger than 6, and some 6 year olds obviously wouldn't be ready, but talk to Michael about it if you think your child wants to try this. There are also adults in these classes.
