Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program

Helps You Change Students’ Lives, One Arrow at a Time

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or school administrator, the Missouri National Archery in the Schools Program can help you build stronger, more confident and accomplished kids. It's modeled on the National Archery in the Schools Program, which began with a simple idea--teach kids the basics of archery as a part of school curriculum. Since NASP's beginnings in 2002, 4.6 million kids across the nation have participated in the program.
