Join us at the Reuter Family YMCA for a few rounds of Bingo! There will be much fun to be had and prizes will be given out to the winners.
This event is free, open to everyone, and presented by Hopscotch Primary Care.
The Reuter Family YMCA is hosting our one day Pickleball Tournament on August 3, 2024 from 9 to 10:30 a.m. This will be a double elimination tournament. You are guaranteed to play at least two games! Find a partner or we can assign you one.
Celebrate National Bowling Day at The Draftsman Bar & Lounge! Strike up a game at our two-lane bowling alley for $10 per person on a first-come, first-served basis while enjoying bar bites and a rotating selection of local beer on draft. Let the good times roll!
The Great Wagon Road Game is an interactive role-playing version of the “Oregon Trail” game of Mom and Dad’s youth. The Cradle of Forestry has brought the game to life along our Biltmore Campus Trail (1 mile). This interactive walking game takes you around the trail to learn more about the trials and tribulations the first European settlers faced as they traveled the Great Wagon Road and settled our beautiful mountains. This is a great game for families to work together and have fun! Families will travel in “wagon groups”, “purchase” supplies (no real money involved in the game) for the journey and stop to roll the dice of destiny that will choose their cards of fate.
This is open to all ages and will have a family-friendly atmosphere. Children under 4 are free to come along as long as they don’t distract the other players from having fun. Please dress appropriately for the outdoors, as we will be walking our 1-mile paved, Biltmore Campus Trail.
