The Kiwanis Club of Alexandria welcomed a group of local second graders to their camp in Tioga for a day of outdoor activities and celebration through the “Terrific Kids” program.

Students from Alma Redwine Elementary spent the day participating in a variety of activities led by Kiwanis members and student volunteers from Circle K International at LSUA. The event featured a rotation of arts and crafts, a specialized fishing game, and actual fishing on the camp grounds.

Organizers noted that the students were particularly successful at the pond, with several participants bringing in “awesome catches” throughout the morning.

The “Terrific Kids” program is a student-recognition initiative sponsored by Kiwanis that promotes character development, self-esteem, and perseverance. Following the activities, the club provided a lunch of pizza and ice cream for all the students in attendance.

The Kiwanis Club of Alexandria continues to use its Tioga camp facility to provide local youth with educational and recreational opportunities in an outdoor setting.
