We believe that as youth enter the middle school years, they are in need of positive support and guidance from caring adults within their family, school and community. Middle School youth spend the majority of their time outside of school. Our program offers them an enriching place to try new things, explore academic subjects in interactive ways, develop leadership skills, and build positive relationships with their peers and adults. Our program focuses heavily on building positive relationships between children and adults, as staff members seek to form personal connections and model positive social skills.

Program continues to run during Winter vacation, February vacation, and April vacation.
