~ CREATIVE ADVENTURES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS
Expressive adventures during non-school hours help kids relieve stress, decompress, and express themselves with creativity. Vocal, verbal, and visual opportunities to hear and use different forms of language encourage empowerment, socialization, emotional release and growth in skills, ideas and confidence. In a safe, nonjudgmental space, tweens and teens can explore risks and possibilities across a range of media and situations. Guided activities help kids focus, give voice to their uniqueness and have fun!
