About the event

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.

This session we will be learning the game of Bocce. Originating in Italy, this game is adaptable to yards, parks, and barbeques. In recent years, many parks and gathering spaces have begun to build official bocce pits. Come see what makes this bowling-style game so popular!

All minors must be accompanied by a registered adult.
