If you are able to help for even an hour or two at any work party, please send an email to SanDiegoArchers@yahoo.com for more details. If you would like to join the Bale Making Work Party, please wear sturdy shoes, bring work gloves and safety goggles if you have them! 

Kids (& adults!) will have a great time at the King Arthur Target Painting Party! We provide all the supplies (paint & brushes), plus targets ready for creative embellishment!

The San Diego Archers truly appreciate your help. Both archery ranges in Balboa Park are maintained by volunteer efforts alone. If each member (non-members welcome, too!) contributed just one hour of volunteer work on either range, we would have two of the nicest looking ranges in California. 

Anyone who volunteers at a work party shoots for free in their next tournament! Coffee and bagels will be available for volunteers.
