Bowling wasn't just about having fun for the kiddos in our Youth Shelter!

Activities like this give our youth the chance to practice important life skills such as teamwork, communication, patience, and sportsmanship while making positive memories and simply enjoying being kids.

Learning happens in everyday moments, and we're grateful to provide opportunities for both growth and fun.

Here's to many more outings and activities this summer!
