Activity
Center |
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. Also see Youth
