Child and Youth Services facilities hosted fun summer activity days for their students Aug. 4-5 at Fort McCoy.
The Child Development Center’s Summer Sizzle event was held Aug. 4 at the center and in its parking lot. The morning featured outdoors fun with sprinklers and bubble machines, tie-dye shirts, ribbon dancing, and more.
In the afternoon, parents joined their children for family activities. The Directorate of Emergency Services brought out a fire truck and ambulance for children to climb in. CYS staff members set up carnival games and a miniature scavenger hunt. Families picked up books and other activities to take home. Pony rides were also available, and an entertaining pig came to visit after school.
School-Age Center/Youth Center students had their day of fun Aug. 5. Students were able to participate in some of the same activities as the CDC students, such as a foam machine, slip-and-slide, and tie-dying T-shirts. They also had the chance to participate in additional outdoor activities like jousting and rock-wall climbing.
The event was organized by Child and Youth Services staff members. Army Community Service staff members and teen SAC/YC students volunteered to assist with activities. Local businesses and organizations helped sponsor some of the activities and giveaways, which included books, school supplies, and treats.
