The recent snowstorms brought ideal conditions for snowboarding and skiing. Staff received many thanks from the teens when the excursion concluded. It was a great trip! <br />Peace Day <br />On February 16, Thousand Oaks Community Center hosted a Peace Day Camp for 90 participants from all three Safe Passage sites. This is our third year doing Peace Day with the Rotary Club. The concept is to spread understanding and peace in the community. This year we focused on teamwork, art, music and nature, all referencing peace and unity. There was a scavenger hunt that incorporated team building exercises like how to solve riddles using clues that required brainstorming ways they could help in their communities, schools, home and more. Martin Luther King quotes were also worked into the scavenger hunt. Art Trek provided a dove art project, and brought the “Trek Tones”, their in house, education band. They <br />played songs for the kids, and exposed kids to different music from different cultures around the world. A <br />reptile specialist taught kids about nature and reptiles, where the participants overcame fears by holding <br />various reptiles. This year’s event was a great success, we had a great turnout for the event and received a <br />lot of positive feedback from staff, partnering organizations and our participants.
