Youth from the PASS program at Wessington Springs School will be visiting the residents at Weskota Manor Avera on Wed., June 23 from 1-3 p.m. The Activities Department has a variety of crafts and activities lined up for the youth to participate in. Penny Wenzel, Activity Coordinator says “The residents really enjoy the excitement and energy that the youth bring when they visit. The day camps were started several years ago to encourage the various generations to interact. We also want youth to feel comfortable in the nursing home setting and to encourage them to volunteer or perhaps work in the nursing home when they get older.” Area youth ages preschool to 6th grade not enrolled in the PASS program are also welcome to attend. Contact Penny Wenzel, Activity Coordinator at 539-1621 for more details. The photograph above was tkaen during the 2009 Weskota Manor Avera Inter-generational camp
