Then they spent an afternoon looking for roadkill and other unique items. The Vinton-Shellsburg middle school and high school volleyball players have been participating in camp this week. The camp ended on Wednesday as the high school players met at Celebration Park for a surprise scavenger hunt. Dividing into teams, they walked through Vinton looking for a variety of items, including the aforementioned road kill. (They found one dead bird, says coach Michelle Ruess.) Ruess says the varsity players plan to participate in a weekend tournament event that will also include more team-building activities this weekend. See more photos HERE.
