Special Programs Social Events
Special Programs social events provide individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities a chance to spend time with old friends, build new relationships, experience a variety of activities, and grow their independence while having some fun at the Y.
Bowling Outing
Join us for a night of bowling and pizza with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities from all around Jefferson and Dodge counties! Make new friends, knock down some pins, and enjoy some food!
The evening will include 2 games of bowling, shoe rental if needed, pizza and soda.
The YMCA will provide staff supervision for participants during the evening – parents/caregivers are welcome to stay but will need to purchase their own food/drinks.
Our YMCA group will be joined by groups from other disability serving organizations in our area.
The night is made possible by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and The Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation.
