Mentors and mentees began the new semester by playing floor hockey in the Champlain gymnasium. Birchwood youth joined their mentors in the Champlain cafeteria for food and games. Mentees helped mentors bake cookies on campus, then played board games and listened to music. Champlain students carpooled to Birchwood to play Apples to Apples with their mentees.
