2016 has come to The P.L.A.C.E. and with it, each of our Tribal youthmembers have set goals for the coming year. They varied, with some setting very ambitious goals while others have set out to achieve goals that will help them become better people and get in better shape.
Our “Get Native” program is getting the New Year started off right with their activities for this month including:
The Tribal youth also have the entire month of January to complete their team building exercises. In week one they will participate in a fort construction project with our Kaboom! Imagination Playground equipment. In week two they’ll get a little more active in team building by a week’s worth of dodgeball. In the third week, they’ll take part in our “Sweep your Teepee” Program, which teaches the youth how to break down barriers and live in a diverse society. To close out the month we’ll work on the Birthday Game which teaches them how to use non – verbal communication.
The P.L.A.C.E. may never be quieter than in final week of January!
With New Year’s resolutions fresh in our minds, we’ll also be cranking up a new “Lose it with a Deck of Cards” Fitness Program. It consists of the following challenges:
Amongst all that we’ve got an ongoing Jenga Tournament as well as our world famous karaoke contest from studio K-P.LA.C.E. taking place on Jan. 15, 2016. If you would like to learn more about FireLodge Tribal Youth Program or the P.L.A.C.E., please contact me at dgreene@potawatomi.org.
