Bowling With VIP Camp 2024

James had his first VIP camp activity today at the bowling alley. This puts the final stamp on his Christmas/Winter vacation as he will be starting school Monday. James was losing by 22 but came back with a spare and a strike to make it close (he lost only by two), however the fun was not in winning the bowling game but in seeing all his friends from summer camp.

Around a dozen campers showed up for the bowling and some of the talk was how Michigan would do in the National Championship game on Monday, should be alot of fun.

One of the staff was a volunteer from France during their exchange period and James had a chance to practice his French.

2023 VIP Camp Bowling (UV)

VIP Camp continues to plan things once a month for its campers, and this month had a special treat, a bowling outing but not just a bowling outing but a bowling outing in an ultraviolet setting. The lanes were all lit up and the bowling alley looked pretty spectacular (or at least as spectacular as a bowling alley can get in this day and age).

James bowled very well and had one of his highest games. A great time was had by all and we are all looking forward to the summer VIP camp which is rapidly approaching.

James took advantage of this outing to turn in his deposit for camp via check, thus saving himself a stamp. Maybe all those business classes he is taking in college are starting to pay off!

VIP Camp Bowling 2017

James got a chance to go bowling with some of his friends from VIP camp and had an awesome day. These types of meetings are lots of fun for James and his family since most of his friends from this camp he only gets to see in summer, so its a real treat seeing them in January. James bowled a couple games, got some pizza and a soda, and had a great day.

We also took advantage of this time to wish everyone a very Happy New Year in a short little video!

Lincoln Park Middle School Bowling Fundraiser 2016

James participated in a bowling fundraiser and had a blast. The event was held at the Belmar Lanes bowling alley on Fort Street in Lincoln Park. Dad dropped James off then decided to stay since the Lions game was on there and managed to snap a few pictures. James bowled three games and won two of those. He also won a Michigan package with all sorts of goodies from the University of Michigan (James is becoming a big Michigan fan). Pizza and pop were also available but since James and his Dad had filled up on pizza from the Halloween party the night before only soda’s were drank.

Bowling at Woodhaven Lanes 2014

James came out to Woodhaven for a bowling fundraiser that supports his summer VIP Camp and had a blast. In addition to the bowling, he enjoyed, pizza, pop, and cake! James got to meet many of his friends from the camp including the counselors and parents. It was only a little more than a week ago that VIP camp ended, but it was still a reunion for James. James bowled very well but did not throw a strike, however he did do a spare and finished up nicely. All in all, it was a great day that constantly looked like rain but never actually did – and we have had enough rain for one summer.
