  • Depending on the number of registrants, we may offer separate groups for youth ages 12 to 17 and ages 18 to 25. We need to know your age so we can place you in the correct group.

  • There are two theme options for session 4: “4.1 Food for Thought”, which includes a cooking activity or “4.2 Creative Minds”, which includes an artistic activity. Youth have a chance to vote for their preferred activity via the sign up form. You will receive either a meal kit or an art kit, depending on which activity receives the most votes.
