These two athletes put in countless hours of hard work and determination throughout the season, and today it paid off in a big way. We are incredibly proud to celebrate their achievements as they both earned GOLD MEDALS! 🥇

🏒 Adventure Camp got to try Dek Hockey this week!
Our 3rd–6th grade campers had the opportunity to learn from Alex Hudson, who plays on the USA ball hockey team and was a QC storm coach last season.
AND a special thank you also goes to volunteers Anden Wood and Jaxon Cutkomp, who generously gave their time to help introduce campers to the game and made it so fun.
The campers were fully engaged and had a blast learning from athletes who compete at high levels.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for making today such a success! 🏒😊
