Let's bowl!
 
ASMC is setting up the pins for another season of our annual bowling camp!

For parent registration, please click here: http://member.autismmclean.org/Sports/Bowling.php.

Contact Krissy Dodson with questions.

About the program:

This camp is open to any kid who wants to be there. As long as they want to play, they are welcome to join us.

Our mission statement is simple: provide our kids the same experience as any other kid who plays a sport. This means, of course, uniforms, practice, frustration, achievement, daydreaming, running, sharing, communicating, bonding, teamwork, turn taking, following directions and friendship.

Parents can help coach (which really means play and share the experience)

We look forward to seeing you there, and watching our kids succeed!…
