Team Building Day!

Youth In Action doesn’t let the rain stop the fun! On the a stormy July Tuesday, Youth In Action headed out to Stephens Lake Park to eat pizza, and get to know each other. We played Parcheesi, spoons and the muddy tree-hugger. The hit of the day was swimming at Stephens Lake Park; we even built a sandcastle with a 360 degree moat!

The ground was so wet we hung our belongings on trees and on a fence.

Paquin Towers Wii Bowling Tournament

On Thursday June 24^th, Youth In Action participated in Paquin Towers Wii Bowling Tournament. The Parks and Recreation department organizes a variety of activities at Paquin Towers for the elderly and individuals with disabilities. Seven people competed to become the Wii Bowling Champ. Personally I was way out of my league. Everyone was bowling turkeys left and right. Caitlin made it to the next round and ended up getting 3^rd place! The winner was an older man in a wheel chair. He was phenomenal and at one point bowled 7 strikes in a row!
