St. Monica's Recreation Center    
St Monica's Recreation Center began in one (very large) farm house, but has grown into a complex of play areas. One addition to the original building houses two multipurpose rooms, used primarily for games, like ping pong, foosball, checkers, monopoly, puzzles, lego and the like. In the same area are smaller rooms for watching videos, doing crafts and playing "house."

This is a photgraph of five children on bicycles in upstate Ohio.Whether the day is cold and snowy or hot and muggy, St. Monica's climate controlled "covered playground" is always popular.  Inside the special building there are swings, climbing toys and other playground equipment, surrounded by a sea of cushioning rubber chips.  Another favorite activity is basketball, played on the outside courts.

Each summer small groups of children from St. Monica's Center spend a week of vacation at Tabor Cottage in northern Ohio.  Here they have fun riding bicycles, going to a nearby amusement park, fishing and relaxing together.  At the same time they learn about their Amish neighbors, enjoy dining out, and experience a different way of life.
