Life Skills

A Day in the Life: University of Toledo

What would it be like to have a disability? Girls can try on vision altering goggles, hit a hockey puck while sitting on a sled, play crash football in a wheelchair, and kick a beeping soccer ball with their eyes closed. The University of Toledo Recreation Therapy Club will lead your girls through creative, hands-on activities to enhance understanding and acceptance of others in this workshop.

Superhero Safety: Girl Scout Center, Dayton
