о Accomplishments: 

� There were 36 youth with disabilities who attended the 19 th Annual Idaho 

Youth Wheelchair Sports camp (highest number in the history of camp). 

There were 80 volunteers involved in helping out over the course of the 

four-day camp. Camp was a great success. Approximately 21 businesses 

helped sponsor this camp. 

� Sonya Buchholz from Western Washington University began her 12 week 

internship with our Therapeutic Recreation program. 

o Trends or Issues: 

� We had to reschedule all of the June rafting trips because the water level 

was too high. 

о Upcoming Events: 

� The Conquer the Current Rafting trip will take place August 15 – 17. This 

trip was funded by the 39 Pounds of Love movie premiere fundraiser in 

October 2005. Currently there are 5 teens with or recovering from cancer 

and 5 siblings or friends that are signed up.

lists.

� KTSY radio station to hold a “Christmas in July” promotion July 9 

� Mylymok hockey camps will be held in July 

� Monday Madness promotion continues in July 

� Sport Leagues 


Sports – Leagues June 2005 July 2006 

Softball LG Tourney 121 103 

o Accomplishments: 

� 3 on 3 Outdoor Basketball started at Willow Lane then moved to Phillippi 

after construction was almost completed. 

� Drop in Volleyball started on Monday nights at Julia Davis Park. 

Averaging 60 – 72 participants a night. 

o Trends or Issues: 

� The low number of teams in our end of season tournament is partially due 

to having to move it up a week to accommodate the Regional Girl’s Fast 

Pitch tournament. The new weekend conflicts with a tournament in Elko 

that a lot of teams from Boise participate in. 

o Upcoming Events: 

� Just completing the Fall Softball registration. 

� Drop In Outdoor Volleyball continues on Monday evenings at Julia Davis 

Park. 

� Sport Tournaments and Concessions 


Sports - Tourneys June 2005 July 2006

play at WLAC, as well as Ivywild and Natatorium pools.

Page 6 

June 2006 

▫ Tracked and ordered product inventory on a weekly basis for 

WLAC, Ivywild and Natatorium. 


� Team registrations for the Boise Blast/ISG Girl’s Fastpitch Shootout 

decreased by eight, due in part to the Far West Regional Soccer 

Tournament consuming available hotel space. 

� Concession staffing growing increasingly more difficult – lack of older 

(age 18+) applicants and personal commitment for lead operator position. 

o Process Improvements: 

� Tracking and ordering concession product to keep up with demand. 

� Weekly work schedule sent to all staff (concession & field maintenance) 

� (both prior items previously delegated without success) 

� Youth Services

Pioneer Center open house. 



Page 8

� Youth services staff presented 3 workshops at the AIC Youth Leadership 

Conference with 2 youth delegates from Boise. 

� Allocated $6,130.00 in mini-grants for 4 separate youth led violence 

prevention activities.

survey. Multiple conference calls and meetings to fine tune the survey.

Relationships Project funding will decrease from $80K to $40K in FY 07, 

Angela Schonder will likely move to part time. 


� Rhythm Dogs will be performing several times in July. The events are 

corporate family picnics, the Canyon County Fair and a VW collectors’ 

car show at Ann Morrison. 

� Possible youth page migration to the Boise Weekly, community mapping. 

� Asset Survey results due in late July. 

� PSA project with KBCI will take place in early August

� June continued to be very busy. During June we hosted the Women’s 

member/guest and a number of corporate outings. 

� Our Junior Golf program remains very strong. Junior golf tournaments 

continue filling to capacity. The golf course mornings and evening 

remain busy. 

� The golf course continues to receive numerous positive comments from 

our players. The course continues to show improvement. The irrigation 

system has helped tremendously to keep the grass green and healthy 

during the hot months. 


� Play in the afternoon has slowed down, especially when temperatures 

reach near 100 degree mark.
