Windsor-Union Square DREAM Monthly Snapshot June 2016 Program Happenings and Highlights
This month Summer Programming kicked off with a fantastic start! AmeriCorps members came together for a week long training in Half Moon State Park. Mona Abdelghani and Lael Daigle became familiar with the youth and families. Summer Community members held an ice cream party at Windsor Village. Families came out to enjoy ice cream and games on the grass. Camp DREAM took place this month! We welcomed 94 youth to Camp Abnaki for a week of canoeing, kayaking, outdoor games, arts and crafts, and other engaging activities. Dartmouth mentor Gautam Babu and Daniela Jerez were able to join for the week! The youth from Dartmouth were grateful to have them along! Brianna, mentee, got the pleasure of watching the senior mentors graduate. Sydney and Jayson got to attend Dartmouth graduation as well with their family. They brought gifts to send off their mentors.
