Our Rowntree Olympians had us at the edge of our seats during the Tabletop Ice Hockey Olympic activity!🏒❄️ One by one, our Olympians stepped up to the table with their mini hockey stick, an ice puck, their eyes set on the net, and five chances to score as many goals possible. When the points were tied, the pressure was on! Our top competitors went round-for-round until one athlete pulled ahead with a winning goal.

With only ONE game day left in our 2026 Rowntree Olympics, we are so eager to see how the final event unfolds and how the final scores will shake out!🏆

Our Winter Olympics continued this week to new heights with our Ski Jump Olympic game! All Olympians selected their very own crafty-clothespin skiers and cheered them down the slope to as they jumped the furthest distance. Many skiers soared, glided and even tumbled but the entire game was a close call.
As we approach our final competitions with only two game days left, we can’t help but reflect on how much fun these past two weeks have been for our community; the camaraderie and laughter have made this year’s Winter Olympics truly special. The community members are ready to give these next games their all and celebrate with a spectacular finale!🥇

Thank you to our wonderful GMC Activities Department for curating an intimate and meaningful setting for our couples, and thank you to our incredible Dietary Team for preparing a delicious menu.🌹❤️

For our 5th Olympic competition of ice hockey, our amazing Rowntree Olympians showed off their strength and aim as they sent their ice pucks soaring down the lane and towards the goal🥅🏒 We were thoroughly impressed by the determination and perfect aim from many of these Olympians! With the weekend to rest these arms, our athletes and audience are excited to get back to the games for our final week of the Rowntree Winter Olympics🏆

Another Rowntree Olympic event in the books🏅🏂 Our 4th day in a row of the Rowntree Olympics featured our Cross Country Skiing competition.

We can't wait to see what the Activities Dept. and these Olympians bring to the "ice" next!

Our Rowntree Gardens Winter Olympics fun continued with one creative competition — the Mini Biathlon! Using nothing but breath power and determination, our Olympians took aim with straws and blew the marshmallow “snowballs” across the "snow" and across the finish line... There were some close calls and impressive lung power on display.

Our first two competitions of the Rowntree Gardens Winter Olympics have been a blast! Day one brought the action with our Sharp Shooting Olympic event, where our Olympians put their aim to the test using Nerf blasters to shoot down flying targets. Day 2 was our Figure Skating event, featuring whimsical flying figures spinning through the air to see who could glide the furthest distance.

The energy, laughter, and team spirit have been incredible! We can't wait to see the joy these next Olympic-days bring to our community.

This morning, we excitingly kicked off our 2026 Rowntree Gardens Winter Olympics with a wonderful Opening Ceremony! Our Olympic parade around the main courtyard began as two of our beloved centenarians passed the torch, followed by our proud Olympians parading closely behind in excitement. With flags to wave and torch-snacks in hand, our staff and community members cheered on the parade along the way. We are thrilled to come together and ready to begin our two-week Winter Olympic Games!🏆❄️
