Our Activity Center has been an ongoing process for many years. The youth have worked hard to create many of the projects with their own hands. The Activity Center consists of oversized couches and plenty of seats for everyone; bar style table and chairs, table-top size classic 45s; recliners; a stage, sound booth, and drop down screen; eye-catching wall art decorated by t-shirts of past caravans, and old records; an abundance of games including a pop-a-shot, board games, and a fluorescent orange ping-pong table.
