Life at an animal camp is always an adventure! But for those who want to step it up a bit, Cub Creek offers several specific adventure courses and classes that are aimed to please. These activities are some of camp's most popular activities with full classes! They are offered multiple times a day and multiple times a week. Our Adventure activities offer a variety from our mostly animal and science based activities, but science is applied in all of them! Our Archery and Riflery courses give campers the skills they need to comfortably and safely navigate these two weapons.
Archery

Riflery
Riflery
Riflery is an old camping tradition that we would like to keep going here at our camp. Riflery focuses on safely teaching campers the skills of marksmanship and responsibility. Campers shoot .22 caliber rifles from the comfort and safety of our covered riflery range. It is critical to us that safety is taken seriously. So this course has two instructors to watch the class at all times, the class is limited to a certain number of campers, and all campers are required to follow strict commands.
Because this course takes extra care and safety, riflery is only offered to senior campers and is only offered as a course.
Rifle Safety
Rifle Safety
The entire first day of the course is dedicated to safety. Campers will meet with the instructors at our range to go over commands, ear and eye protection, and handling rifles.
Shooting Practice
Shooting Practice
After the first day, campers will practice their marksmanship. With a target downrange, they will practice bettering their accuracy and score. Like archery, the goal of riflery is gaining skills and noticing your strengths. Riflery takes patience and a positive attitude!
Rifle Cleaning and Care
Rifle Cleaning and Care
Campers learn the importance of taking care of their rifle while in the class. This involves handling when both shooting and not, loading properly, and cleaning. Each camper is assigned a rifle during the week so that they take special care of it.
