Started in 2006, the
our summer program
as a leadership camp
for middle school
students. PALS itself
stands for Participants
Achieving Leadership
Skills. Participants in
PALS were given the
opportunity to not only
develop leadership
skills, but also to
develop their self-esteem, confidence, social skills, and problem solving skills in a
safe nurturing environment with positive drug-free peers.
The Summer PALS had such success, that
during the school year, the PALS program
evolved into including year round programs
that focuses on giving a fun structured
environment for Middle School and early
High School students to experience These
once monthly activities help kids
positive drug-free peers and Outings
have included: Magic Waters,
Overnight Camp Out, Ski Trip,
Bowling, Lock-In, and several trips to
Chicago. The PALS program
continues to experience success with
over 80 middle school students
involved in our year round and
summer programming!!!
