Programs for Children and YouthYou've heard it so often because it's true: Children are our future. That's why we offer a variety of enriching programs and activities for the youngest members of our church community.Our programs for children and youth are under the supervision of our Director of Religious Education, Amy Popp. The Children's Religious Education (RE) committee and other church members assist in planning and carrying out the programs. Take a look at this brief overview of our offerings for children and youth. Specific events are listed on our calendar and in the church newsletter, The Builder. For more information, contact Amy Popp or the church office. Sunday School ClassesStructured, age-appropriate classes are offered for preschoolers through junior high students. Sunday school takes place during the worship service hour (from early September through early June). To learn more about our Sunday school classes, see this page.Youth GroupsOur High School Youth Group has been involved in social action projects, youth retreats, youth conferences, charity fundraisers, and lots more. The group meets at a variety of times and places.We also have an active Jr. High Yuuth group that plans fun activities about once a month. Our junior highers have gone boating, fishing, hiking, ice skating, and even to a haunted house! Summer CampOur week-long summer camp provides mornings of fun and learning centered on our UU values. Past themes have included "Rainbow Children," celebrating diversity, and "The Everything Seed," focusing on respect for the earth and the interconnectedness of the universe. Children from age four through entering fourth grade are welcome.Special EventsThroughout the year, the Children's Religious Education Committee organizes entertaining events for the whole family. Examples from past years include monthly game nights, an apple orchard outing, Halloween carnivals, bowling parties, holiday ornament making, and much more.Nursery and Child CareOn Sunday mornings, infants and toddlers (three months through two years) receive excellent care in our nursery.
