Activities include Mall Trips, Mini Golf, Movies, Beach Trips, Bike Trips, Fishing and Golfing. We also hope to include Teen Cooking lessons, learning a little Spanish, French and Sign Language as well as a Reading Club! Once a week we will do a small community service project. This would include such things as reading to our younger camps or helping out at one of our programs. We also hope to have a working garden at the community center for the teens to experience.
