Not Just for the Italians - D35

Bocce Ball has become a big part of our program activities here at Arrowhead.  It all started with a conversation with a local Bocce Ball coach whose daughter attended Shepherds Camp.  Bocce Ball continues to be a thriving Special Olympics sport and the Southern Tier now has over 100 local athletes.

A few years ago we upgraded our boarded courts with a brand new Bocce Ball "Arena".  This new activity area has a level playing field, packed surface, 6x6 boards and wheel chair accessibility.  On top of all that we were blessed last year with the addition of stadium bleachers, funded by the George A. and Margaret Mee Charitable Foundation. 

We greatly enjoy partnering with a multitude of local Special Olympics Bocce Ball teams for tournaments and scrimmages. Bocce Ball continues to be a growing and exciting part of Shepherds Camp.
