The WOCRC, in partnership with Youth Net/Réseau Ado, is pleased to announce that together we will be offering an outdoor recreation program called Take A Hike (TAH) for youth from Kanata, Goulbourn, and West Carleton communities. TAH aims to provide youth with an opportunity to explore and develop healthy strategies for coping with stress through guided outdoor recreation activities. Outings for the program may include hiking, caving, and canoeing, among others. In addition, youth will have the chance to learn outdoor survival skills like navigation and first aid. The cost to participate in Take a Hike is $1 per week (per participant), for eight weeks. This fee includes transportation from the meeting site, snacks, and activity costs. The program is for youth between the ages of 13 to 20 year old. It is set to begin on Thursday, July 6th.

So, if you know any youth who you think might be interested, please let them know about TAH. I am including the program poster. Please feel free to pass it on to youth, parents, other service providers, or to post it. If you have any questions, or to register, please contact Hagan @ Youth Net/Réseau Ado at hriglin@cheo.on.ca or (613) 738-3915 or contact us at the WOCRC for more info.
