THE PLAYGROUNDgr is grateful for amazing partnerships in our community. Today we trained the Boys & Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids Youth Commonwealth Camp O'Malley summer camp team!

We were thrilled to pour into these young adults and community leaders and they build pathways for youth to learn the power of nature, attachment and play!
