DREAM Program Provides Summer Enrichment

ACCT is lucky to be able to partner with the DREAM program in Middlebury, which provides mentoring and enrichment aimed at closing the opportunity gap for low-income kids. This summer, seven youth are enrolled and participating at an ACCT Camp DREAM site. The summer program is offering a wide range of engaging and exciting activities designed to provide youth with fun and enriching experiences. Each day is structured to incorporate a variety of options that cater to different interests. Here are some highlights so far:

• Outdoor activities: through outdoor games, sport, and exploration, we have encouraged youth to embrace physical activity and teamwork. Programming has included scavenger hunts, nature walks and more.
• Arts and crafts: with the goal of inspiring creativity and encouraging self-expression, youth have explored various mediums such as painting, drawing, and sculpting.
• Team building and problem solving: through a variety of games and team-challenges, youth have worked together to communicate effectively, collaborate, and flex leadership skills.
