Teens Take to the Mountains
Uncategorized
Philip Kolling, Everett Clubhouse Director, took a group of teens rock climbing through a newly established partnership
with Metro Rock climbing gym. Out of the 6 participants 4 passed their
belay test and will act as leaders for the rest of the summer. The Rock
Climbing program and collaboration is being piloted as a diversion
tactic for court involved youth. Teens, also took a field trip to Lake Pokapog to hike and
canoe, an Everett Clubhouse collaboration with the Appalaichain Mountain Club's Youth
Opportunities Program (YOP). On the field trip, teens learned how to do T rescues with a few other Boston Area youth
organizations.
