This program is a four hour outdoor team building workshop held on a mile-long course in the Youth Center's woods and meadows. The Radical Challenge program is designed for grades 5 and up to promote communication, team building, and cooperation through adventure games. Youth are placed in situations that demand leadership, trust, risk-taking, listening, creativity and physical effort.
Level 1: Review swim basics of breathing, stroke techniques along with kicking techniques. Level 2: Develop swim stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke. All classes are student tailored, to the best of our ability, towards the swimmer.
The Youth Center offers its facility for rental during certain times of year. This includes Woods Hall & the Pavilion, our softball fields and our meadows and woods for group camping. It's a perfect place for a family reunion, birthday or graduation party, softball practice or an overnight Scout campout.
