The Collaborative is excited to pilot Spring and Summer RTU Programming! Our youth deserve to be celebrated year-round, while also learning about the impact of substance use on the individual, families, and communities.
We like to focus on the solutions at The Collaborative, so that's why we are focusing on "Healthy Habits for a Resilient Life" this Spring and Summer, while incentivizing healthy choices.
Young people from 9 local schools can sign up to take 3 classes on building and keeping healthy habits and earn a "pass" to the following places:
Riley Rink at Northshire Disc Golf - Drop in at any time they are open to play!
Vermont State Parks - 10 visit punch card for day use at any Vermont State Park!
Vermont Macrame - Sign up to take an available plant hanger class and learn the creative art of macrame!
Stratton Mountain Biking - Use the beautiful park from opening until the end of the Summer!
