Franklin Square DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2013 Program Happenings and Highlights • In honor of National Mentoring Month, Franklin Square mentors were thanked for all their service with a celebration at the South Burlington DREAM Office. A special thank you goes to Ben and Jerry’s for their support with this event. • Three Franklin Square mentors and seven teens enjoyed a wintry day of fun at Camp DREAM for this year’s Teen Winter Adventure Camp. Activities included broomball and commando, the DREAM version of Capture the Flag in the woods, involving scrolls, mega-scrolls, and other epic adventure elements. • Mentors participated in a discussion on good behavior management techniques to use with their mentees.

Mentors and mentees went bowling at Champlain Lanes. Due to the large snowfall in the Burlington area, DREAM was cancelled on February 8th. Mentors and mentees constructed some amazing contraptions during a Friday egg drop competition. Teams attempted to construct holders to keep their eggs safe during a fall from a third story window.
