Elm Street DREAM Monthly Snapshot February 2012
Program Happenings and Highlights
Teen WAC and overnight WAC was held this month with great success. Teens spent a
day at Northern Lights Rock and Ice challenging themselves and working together, and
the spent the night playing and bonding with one another. Overnight WAC attendees
included 5 kids and their mentors, ages 10-12. The adventurous DREAMers spent two
days at Camp DREAM, sledding, star gazing, winter camping, and more!
The three UVM DREAM programs wrapped up their joint recruitment this month,
welcoming a total of 18 new mentors into the DREAM programs. Elm Street specifically
has taken on 10 excited new mentors, who are set to begin DREAM right after Spring
break!
Several DREAMers took advantage of a great opportunity outside of regular DREAM
time to do some arts & crafts at the BCA for free. Thanks to Mobius for facilitating this
and other exciting opportunities like it!!
