891 Club - Catapult Challenge
This month's Youth Development Activity at 891 Club was building catapults & testing their efficiency! Although it may have been tricky at first, all of the Littles ended up building their very own catapult through trial and error. Then came the most fun part--trying to knock down a tower of cups with their newly build catapults! As you can see, they definitely were enjoying themselves!
All of our Littles had such an AWESOME time with the Penn State Students at Voluntoona! We all had the opportunity to play a game of baseball at Veterans Memorial Field (cbrcparks.org)! We want to thank all the students who came out for the day, spent time with our Littles & encouraged them all to try hitting at least once!
THANK YOU Community State Bank of Obisonia for being our In Step for Kids 5k event sponsor! Don't forget that our 5k will be happening next month on September 11th. Registration starts at 12:30pm and the race starts at 2pm. Preregister by downloading registration/sponsor forms at http://bbbsblaircounty.org/5k-walkrun/ or register on the day of the event.
This year's Juniata College Inbound was such a blast! Here's a little video of their final day together at Raystown Lake. Our Littles always look forward to the JC Inbound and we are very happy that it was another successful year. All of us at BBBS of Blair County want to give a shout out to the 10 freshman who volunteered to be Bigs and the 2 peer leaders, Olivia & Samantha, who kept the program running smoothly!
United Way Day of Caring; Baker Mansion
Considering being a Big Brother or Sister, but not sure what it will be like? Check out our video for a great example!
This awesome group of volunteers from YTI and the community were paired with a group of our Littles for the United Way Day of Caring. Each match was paired and then spent the day at Baker Mansion. As you can see, something as simple as playing a game of checkers outside or throwing a football is what Littles really enjoy and look forward to!
Even though each pair only met for the FIRST TIME that morning, some really great friendships were created. Contact us today for more information on how to get involved!
Canoe Creek Picnic Bingo Game
Although the weather might not have been the best towards the end of the day, we were all determined to continue having a great time! Here are some highlights of the BBBS Bingo game the kids ran. Each player got a chance to step up, spin the wheel and yell out their round of numbers. The kids did a GREAT job of taking turns and being loud and clear for everyone to hear!
891 Club
This week's 891 Club challenge was a Ping Pong Drop! The two teams were each given a bag full of random items that they used to build a contraption able to drop a ping pong into a cup on the floor. This took LOTS of teamwork, creative thinking, and problem solving. In the end, each team was given a chance to show off their hard work!
