Celebrating Love, Truth, Justice and Freedom
The Youth and Family Services (YFS) Team recently held a retreat at the 4H Center Cascara House in West Salem. “The objective of the retreat was truly to treat the staff to a day of relaxation and play in preparation for us to do good work with our youth over the summer months when things tend to get very hectic,” said YFS Sr. Program Director Lori Simpson.
“We ate, played games, participated in group and individual competitions, and LAUGHED A LOT,” she said. Staff won prizes for various activities such as a scavenger hunt, “Minute to Win It” games and mind puzzles. A favorite activity involved taking pictures of things they found in nature.
