Regular Attendance is Important!Regular attendance is absolutely crucial for youth to get the information they need, and to build the trust necessary to support the goals of this program. Sporadic attendance means the whole group suffers in their ability to bond. Please make this program a priority in your youth's schedule. Arriving promptly at 10:15 AM is also important, so the class can begin on time. Overnights are not merely sleepovers--four to five lessons are covered, so please do not miss if at all possible!

The "Snack List" | No Nuts Policy Followed!Several youth in this group have severe nut allergy and gluten intolerance.

Our Whole Lives (OWL) Human Sexuality | Grades 7 & 87th-8th | Our Whole Lives | Jan-May 2015 | 10:15 AM - 12 PM | Two Scheduled Overnights (Fri/Sat)
Our Whole Lives is a nationally known, highly esteemed, whole-person UUA/UCC curriculum about human sexuality and spirituality. OWL is a positive and comprehensive program that helps participants gain knowledge, values, and skills in order to lead sexually healthy, responsible lives. The OWL curriculum is abstinence-based yet comprehensive in its informative approach to low-risk and high-risk behaviors, sexually transmitted infections, reproductive options, and emotional and psychological aspects of becoming sexually active. Parental permission and attendance at an adult orientation is required for young people to participate in this program. Several lessons employ hand-drawn slides, all of which are previewed in our parent orientation sessions. OWL is taught by a team of trained lay-leaders who care deeply about the well-being of our youth. |
