Our elementary summer program wrapped up this week with more fun activities! Students finished up their art projects, visited the Cedar Panning Company, Cedar Valley Wild Frontier Funpark, and Shin-Ga-Ba-Shores playground. We also had a blast bowling at Thunderbowl Lanes and ended our week with "How to Train Your Dragon" at the Lake Theatre. What a great three weeks we had! Thanks to all who participated and all of the businesses and organizations that supported our visits!
