Riverside DREAM Monthly Snapshot July 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
Two groups of teens went on DREAM’s annual Adventure Sailing Excursions off the coast of Maine under the direction of Captain John Reid. The teens learned how to sail and live on a boat while having the time of their lives island hopping, getting to know each other, and enjoying all that the ocean has to offer! Nine teens from across Vermont attended DREAM’s annual College Road Trip. The teens, along with several mentors, Summer AmeriCorps members, and DREAM office staff, spent the week at Vermont Technical College and travelled around the state of Vermont touring colleges and exploring other post-secondary options. To celebrate the end of the trip, the group spent a weekend in NH at the beach!

The group did a lot of arts and crafts projects in the community including chalk art and frame making. The summer members took a group to the beach! Summer member, Amos, took a group to the Lake Monster’s game for a sports night. The group had a baking day in the community. Several days were spent playing games in the community. For an end of summer celebration, summer AmeriCorps members planned a movie night for the kids!
