Samantha and a group of girls did arts & crafts and took a trip to the playground to get out their extra energy. The boys took a trip to Lake St. Catherine, where they swam and fished. The group traveled to Rutland to see Smurfs 2 in the movie theater. To celebrate the end of summer, the group took a trip to The Fun Spot, where they played laser tag and mini golf, ate pizza, and raced go-karts. All the youth tried at least one new activity, and everyone had a ton of fun!
