Our Youth Adventure Program provides opportunities for kids to develop independence and gain new skills! Each day will be filled with new adventures, exploring the community, and making connections with others. Activities will include: in-town mini trips (frequently on bikes and public transportation as a group), giving back to the community through various projects, archery, swimming at local pools, fishing trips, games, arts and crafts, team building, field trips, and more. Take this opportunity to build lasting relationships, gain noteworthy experience, and make a positive impact!
