City of Everett Human Needs Grant <br /> January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2017 <br /> Camp Fire Snohomish County <br /> Mega Club <br /> EXHIBIT A: Program Summary <br /> Mega Club for children and youth in subsidized housing centers and includes children at <br /> risk at the Domestic Violence Center, where they will be provided health and safety <br /> education, self-reliance courses, be mentored by caring adults and learn to develop <br /> critical thinking strategies for healthy lifestyles. While the youth participate in activities <br /> in a fun environment, they will build self-esteem, self-worth, and social skills including <br /> conflict resolution which will lead to success in school and prevent violence and <br /> delinquent behaviors. Children learn best while they work through structured, social <br /> activities embedded with goals and objectives. Making good choices and having a ready <br /> excuse to avoid negative behavior helps youth stay out of trouble as they develop <br /> healthy habits. Positive social interactions reinforce good choices. Prevention in this <br /> high risk group is important and far less expensive than rehabilitative solutions. An "I <br /> Can Do It Robotics" program will be introduced this year to provide STEM activities <br /> designed to bring an increased level of interactive education to this population. At Camp <br /> Fire, our curriculum is designed for experiential learning and developing healthy lifelong <br /> habits. <br />
