Lawn Games and Leisure Sports: End of Summer Bash

Lawn games and leisure sports are a wonderful way to appreciate the longer days and warm weather. They are approachable for many age ranges and skill levels and are a fun addition to any picnic or family game night! Expand your repertoire of outdoor activities as we explore, strategize, and play leisure sports together. Join us each session to learn the rules, history, and etiquette of a new lawn game. We had a wonderful season of friendly competition learning new lawn games. Join us playing these games one last time before summer ends. All minors must be accompanied by a registered adult. Schedule: Sep 18, 2026 Friday from 6pm to 7:30pm Duration: 1 hour 30 mins Ages: 6 yrs +,
