Pine Meadow/Peter Coe DREAM Monthly Snapshot April 2017 Program Happenings and Highlights This month DREAM held its annual Teen Retreat for younger teens, age 12-14. Teens from across Vermont met at Dartmouth College, where they participated in a snapchat challenge and discussion about internet safety. Following this they had an overnight at the Dartmouth Class of ’69 cabin, where teens performed in a talent show and ate lots of S’mores! Mentees Total: 14
Mentors Total: 12
Weekly Programming with Children One warm, Springy Friday the group hiked a portion of the Trail Around Middlebury (TAM)! DREAMers had a field day one Friday! They had a 3-legged race, played sharks and minnows, toilet tag, and capture the flag. They also made a sign for the Relay for Life taking place at the college out of recycled materials! One Friday was spent on a journey around campus in a scavenger hunt that involved, among other things, some nifty food related tasks! The DREAMers had a blast during their science themed DREAM Friday! They experimented with mentos and diet coke, blowing up balloons by producing gas, making slime, and making lava lamps.
