Community

Our community program includes community service, cooking classes, languages, and sewing. The community service elective is offered once a week and we use the Roots and Shoots module for community service (www.rootsandshoots.org). We go to animal shelters, senior homes, and perform community clean-ups. We believe that community service hours should be performed on a local level, proving to teens that they can make a difference in their own local town or city. Cooking classes are offered in our new cooking studio kitchen. We teach the basics: cooking for college, desserts, and appetizers. Sewing classes teach campers how to sew personal items, using material from old clothing, and goodwill shops. Languages are offered once a day, including French and Spanish, and we also have English as a Second Language for the benefit of our international campers.
