The program centers on strengthening communication and family bonds. Students also work on how to deal with peer pressure, and adults learn to set limits with their children, while still showing love.  The program begins October 7 and runs weekly for 7 weeks.

The evening starts at 5:30 pm with a meal where we come together and eat as families (meal included with program cost).  The youth and adults separate from 6:00-7:00 and work on areas more specific to them and then come back together as families from 7:00-8:00 to learn more about each other and have fun together!
