Willowbrook DREAM Monthly Snapshot June 2014 Program Happenings and Highlights
Summer Community VISTAs Molly Kirschner and Kelsey Ryan spent three days at Camp DREAM learning the ropes of Summer DREAM. Since then, they have been hard at work planning and leading enriching activities for DREAM youth in Willowbrook! See below for some highlights. Molly and Kelsey kicked off the summer with a smoothie-making party for youth and their families. Many new youth have been participating in DREAM activities this summer!

Weekly Programming with Children
To kick off the summer, Molly and Kelsey invited DREAM youth and their families to make smoothies. Other week one activities included puppet making, teen night, and a scavenger hunt around Willowbrook. Molly and Kelsey started their second week of activities with an ice cream social. Willowbrook youth also played games, completed a blind obstacle course as a teambuilding activity, took a trip to the Purple Carrot Farm, and began writing a play, which they will perform at the end of the summer. The group did some wacky and wild science experiments, and the teens took a trip to see a baseball game in North Adams, MA. Kelsey and Molly hosted a girls’ night in the Willowbrook community center.
