Recreation and learning activities for children aged 6-12 include computers, multicultural cooking, gardening, basketball, chess, dance, reading, arts & crafts, and team fitness. The teen program features a similar range of activities along with group outings such as bowling, ice skating, skiing, leadership retreats, and college tours.
