BOWLING
NWSRA BOWLING PROGRAMS - GOALS: CI, M
Bowling programs are developed for a fun, social experience while instructors give bowling points and tips. In large
programs, participants will be assigned to lanes according to their age, skill and ability level. Please do not bring outside
food or snacks to the bowling alley as most of the bowling alleys do not allow it. Participants may bring money to pur-
chase a snack at the bowling alley. All bowling programs include 2 games of bowling unless otherwise stated.
