ORCA is rolling out a new program called Youth Adventure Club. We will be gathering every second Wednesday of the month from 3:30-5:00pm starting on February 12th. This is open to all youth, ages 7 to 14, of all abilities. We focus on socialization, team building, and fun outside. On Saturday, January 25th from 2-4, we will have an open house at the Hames Center for interested youth and families to find out more, register, and meet our great staff!
