I can see how children shooting rifles may raise some eyebrows for some, but it doesn't for me. When I was a kid, I too went to summer camp where I was instructed in archery and riflery. My recollections from my lessons on the riflery range have mostly to do with gun safety. Never point a loaded weapon at someone. Always assume a gun is loaded. That sort of stuff. My son didn't just learn how to aim and shoot, he learned guns are dangerous too. I'm much more concerned about games and movies that glorify violence than I am about teaching gun safety to children.

I find it amazing how casually you mention shooting with the other camp activities of swimming, hiking, eating, singing and playing. Doesn't this make alarms go off in your head?
