Youth will build friendships, develop independence and confidence with activities throughout the day that promote our key learning areas (SEL, STEM, Literacy, Arts, Health and Physical Activity) as well as Service Learning and Community Connections.

Grades 5-7

Programs designed for older youth to explore interests, share their talents, and gain skills in leadership and independence. Youth will engage in experience-based activities that incorporate our key learning areas and promote community involvement.
