Elm Street DREAM Monthly Snapshot July 2015 Program Happenings and Highlights
Summer Community Interns, Laura, Kendra, and Kelsea ran a successful summer program! Summer Community Interns took an Elm St mentee to Boston as an end of summer trip where they walked the Freedom Trail, explored the city, and toured the TD Garden arena! A group of Vermont mentees went on the College Road Trip where they joined teens from Boston and Philadelphia to tour colleges in Washington DC! The weekly themes for July were sports, culture, and fun with water! Elm St mentees were invited to spend a week at Camp DREAM in Fletcher, VT!
