Always willing to try something new is one of the great things about Kendal’s culture.
The most recent is the playing of Bocce Ball in Kendal’s backyard.
What is Bocce? Wikipedia tells us, “Bocce, sometimes anglicized as bocce ball, bocci or boccie, is a ball sport belonging to the boules family. Developed into its present form in Italy, it is closely related to British bowls and French pétanque, with a common ancestry from ancient games, played in the Roman Empire.”
Bocce is played at Kendal on Wednesdays at 1:30 pm. Todd Healy of Kendal’s Fitness Center supervises the activity. Bocce is open to all Kendal residents. It’s great low-level impact exercise and lots of social fun.
