Bowling
Our bowling league for teenagers and adults is the most popular program we offer, with over 60 bowlers participating every week. To add more excitement, we have a red pin challenge every third week where bowlers can earn tickets to trade for great prizes. We celebrate both team and individual accomplishments at our annual award ceremony held every June.
Special Olympics

We believe that by emphasizing teamwork and the importance of individual skills, our athletes can reach their full potential and succeed in their chosen sports.
