Red Ribbon Week: October 23 through 31^st.

Red Ribbon Week is designed to discuss with youth the harmful effects of drugs, and why everyone should lead a drug-free life. During this week, we will be distributing information and engaging in activities that promotes a drug free lifestyle.

Red Ribbon Week is not a prevention or early intervention program. It is an awareness campaign observed annually the last full week in October. We regard Red Ribbon Week as the kick off to a year of prevention in our schools and in our communities.

Red Ribbon Week is also a CALL TO ACTION! This week-long campaign provides multiple opportunities for students, parents, teachers and others to join together to address the alcohol, tobacco, other drug and violence related issues or concerns in their community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call me.

This year’s adventures will take campers exploring entrepreneurship. Young entrepreneurs learn the nuts and bolts of what it takes to plan for and launch their own business. Our campers start with their own business idea and then work with a team of peers and instructors to fine-tune their ideas. From there, they learn to create company logos, business cards, and a Web site.
All campers learn how to use cutting-edge technologies to create everything needed to launch their business! Campers will host a showcase at the end of the summer and will participate in related games, arts & crafts, ten related activities, special events, trips, and so much more!
Highlights: Setting up a Business, SOY Math Workshop, Kid Village Program, School/Family Picnic to Clementon Park, Annual Youth Retreat
You won’t want to miss out on the fun this summer!
