Check out the new interactive musical sculpture at Longview Park!
🎵Our camp kids are having fun exploring this year's Quad City Arts Public Art Sculpture Program Artwork and the sounds it makes!
🎹"Pentatonic” by Isaac Kidder features five colorful tone pipes arranged on a pentagon base, forming a pentatonic scale. By tapping the levers atop each pipe, viewers create music using the piano’s black-key notes.

🏒 Adventure Camp got to try Dek Hockey this week!
Our 3rd–6th grade campers had the opportunity to learn from Alex Hudson, who plays on the USA ball hockey team and was a QC storm coach last season.
AND a special thank you also goes to volunteers Anden Wood and Jaxon Cutkomp, who generously gave their time to help introduce campers to the game and made it so fun.
The campers were fully engaged and had a blast learning from athletes who compete at high levels.
Thank you to all of our volunteers for making today such a success! 🏒😊
