The maple sugaring season is getting under way at the Youth Agency. Over 20 high school and college students have signed up to help with this year’s program.

The Youth Agency’s Ski Club started on December 19th with a great group of 7th graders at Mohawk. The weather and conditions were

ideal and the views, as the sun set, made everyone want to take pictures! We are looking forward to many more great nights this season, as we have over 60 students who want to go snowboarding or skiing!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone for our

annual Staff & Volunteer Holiday Party on Sunday evening!
