| Our PALS (Participants Achieving Leadership Skills) program is for Jr. High participants who want to increase their leadership and communication skills, community involvement, and volunteerism. The PALS groups will be participating in team building activities, as well as providing positive peer influence for the younger participants. PALS groups will also be on some more advanced field trips emphasizing teamwork. |
| What is the Summer '08 Program? |
| The Summer ’08 Program is designed to give participants an opportunity to learn valuable life lessons. The program creates a safe environment where youth can make new friends, try new things, and have lots of fun! Children will also be able to participate in small groups, open hour activities (games, crafts, outdoor play/sports), and go on field trips. |
| The program is divided into two sessions with a one-week break between the sessions. The first session is three weeks running Monday through Friday. The second session is four weeks running Monday through Thursday. All programming days are from 10:00am to 3:00pm. |
| During the program your child will work closely in a small group with children his/her own age. These groups provide an opportunity for your child to learn about different topics and ask questions, in an age appropriate setting. |
Small Groups for children entering grades 1-5:
