Youth Services Summer 2020

With social distancing guidelines in place and many unknowns for the upcoming summer, our typical method of summer trips will not be possible.

During previous summers, we transport kids by our 12-passenger vans to locations all over the state for full-day trips, which will not be an option with the upcoming guidelines. We know it will be different this year, but we are hoping to offer some safe opportunities for kids to reconnect with peers and engage in positive activities.

We are trying our best to still provide programs for our Colchester youth during these unprecedented times. Please take a few minutes to answer our survey below to let us know what you and your child are comfortable signing up for through Summer 2020.
