Long before the bow and arrow, ancient peoples relied on the spear-thrower, or "atlatl," for survival. Come join us to try your hand at using the atlatl and to learn more about the history of this fascinating, ancient technology! This program is best suited for those 8yrs and older, but we have one child-sized atlatl available for those that are younger.
