Weekly Programming with Children Middlebury mentors and mentees celebrated the end of the year with a culminating event. They spent a beautiful, sunny day at the Burlington waterfront. They started in the ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center, then had a picnic in Waterfront Park. After some frisbee and dipping their toes in the (still frigid) lake, the group went to Pizza Putt in Colchester for some mini-golf, arcade games, and, of course, PIZZA! The group finished their night at Camp DREAM, in Fletcher, Vermont, with a bonfire, s’mores, and scary stories! Everyone had a blast and was glad to spend the night at DREAM’s wonderful outdoor space! Thank you for your ongoing support of DREAM.
