Tweens & Teens
Tweens and teens are eager to learn, eager to lead, and creative beyond belief. The SCH teen/tween program recognizes that middle school kids are passionate about helping others, so we focus our programming on developing leadership and mentorship skills, practicing civic engagement, building self-confidence, encouraging healthy relationships, and empowering youth to make a difference in their community.

Older kids love to tumble too! This class is for tweens and teens who will enjoy increasing their strength, flexibility and fitness while learning new tricks–perfect for anyone who wants to level-up their tumbling skills for dance teams, cheer leading, or just for fun! Beginning through intermediate levels are welcome. Our studio is not appropriate for advanced tumbling–if you can already do a back handspring, this class will not be the right fit. We will shape the class based on the needs and interests of the students. This is a five-week session.

This two-day camp will teach you everything you need to know about how to upcycle your clothes. On day one, we’ll walk to the Goodwill Bins to find items to revamp, learn sewing basics, and dream up how we want to rework our pieces. On day two, we’ll bedazzle, embroider, crop, and chop - whatever excites us to reinvent our pieces. Supplies provided, but participants are welcome to bring their own clothes or materials if they have something they’re excited to use.

“I never had any friends later on
like the ones I had when I was 12.”
Those are the final words spoken by the narrator in the movie Stand by Me, the quintessential movie about those bittersweet transitional moments between childhood and adulthood, when everything from family, to friendships, to the causes we care about take on an extra intensity that is hard to capture later in life. It is that intensity of youth that makes the SCH teen/tween program one of our most exciting (and fun!) programs.
