The Hideout Pop-Up: Archery & Team Challenge
What are The Hideout Pop-Ups?
The Hideout Pop-Ups are a small, one-day way to step into The Hideout world without disappearing for a whole weekend.
Not the full camp weekend. Just a little piece of it.
Come play, make something, meet people, and remember that weekends can feel different.
Want the full version? Get on the Summer 2027 waitlist here.
Event Description
A summer afternoon for grown-ups who want to go outside, try something new, and briefly become the kind of person who says things like, “I think I’m actually getting good at this.”
We’ll learn the basics of archery, get some practice in, split into teams, and end with a friendly challenge where everyone gets weirdly invested in points, targets, and probably one very dramatic final shot.
This is not just an archery lesson, it’s archery with camp energy!
Beginner-friendly instruction, team challenges, tiny prizes, light chaos, and a roomful of adults taking fun just seriously enough.
No experience needed or athletic personality required, just show up, try to shoot arrows, cheer for your team, and maybe discover that you have excellent main-character-with-a-bow energy 😉
What to Expect
Beginner-friendly archery lesson
Practice time with guidance
Team-based archery challenges
A final mini tournament
Tiny prizes for the winning team and a few very official categories that may or may not matter in the real world.
Time to hang out before/after
A relaxed, playful group setting
Come alone or bring a friend. We’ll sort the teams.
Please note: This event will run with a minimum of 10 participants. If we don’t reach the minimum, tickets will be refunded.
What’s Included
Your ticket includes the archery lesson, equipment, guided practice, team setup, hosted challenge rounds, water, snacks, prizes*, and the very serious administration of unserious competition.
You just show up. We’ll sort the rest.

The Hideout Rule
Come ready to enter The Hideout
That means trying something new, joining a team, cheering for strangers, and caring about your team score a tiny bit more than expected.
You do not have to be good at anything. You just have to be game.
* We’ll also be watching for things like most dramatic shot, most improved, and best commitment to the game. So basically, skill helps, but energy also counts!
