Poultney DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2014 Program Happenings and Highlights • One Poultney teen and two mentors attended Teen Winter Adventure Camp (WAC) at Bolton Valley Resort, where they learned to cross-country ski thanks to Emily, an AmeriCorps member from the Catamount Trails Association. • Five Poultney mentees and five mentors attended Day WAC for the Southern Vermont Local Programs at Emerald Lake State Park in East Dorset. There, they met up with a group from the Willowbrook/Bennington College Local Program for an afternoon of sledding and cross-country skiing. • Mentors began planning for their end-of-year culminating experience, which will be an overnight trip to Camp DREAM!

A snowstorm forced the group to cancel DREAM on February 5th. The frigid wind chill brought the group inside, where they played the Lava Game. The game proved to be a great bonding and team-building experience for everyone! Mentors and mentees spent one Wednesday playing games with the parachute.
