What Families Can Expect:
Youth 6-9th grade and their caregivers who participate will enjoy a fun, family centered program. Youth and caregivers meet separately during the first part of the program, then together as a family for the second half bringing together all that they have learned. Activities include games, discussions, arts and crafts and more. All activities focus on promoting positive youth development and positive family relationships. The program includes FREE dinner each night, FREE childcare and FREE family event tickets upon graduation. Click on the link below, register and join in on the family fun!
