Children and Youth Programs for Participants Aged 3 to 19

The planning committee has arranged for children's and youth program coordinators to help facilitate constructive and enjoyable time for all participants, and to allow parents and other guardians to participate fully in the Conference. The programs will include activities that reflect FOR's values.

The Children's Program for 3 to 10 year olds will be led for the 16th year by Jean Gant, once again with the cooperation of Nora Walsh. Activities will be geared to the needs and interests of the individual children attending, and will develop a sense of community through play and mutual problem-solving. We will be relying on adults and youth attending the conference to volunteer their time and talents to assist us. Beyond Seabeck, Jean works with children and families as a teacher and therapist. Nora teaches art with young people in a variety of settings.

Youth Program.

Youth are invited to participate fully in all conference activities and to organize additional activities around their individual ideas and interests. Coordinators (to be named) will facilitate initial peer group meetings to discuss possible activities and to provide opportunities to get to know one another. Two groups will be available: one for youth 11 to 14 years of age, and one for 15 to 19 year olds. Activities might include attending workshops as a group and then having separate discussions on the topics, planning acts to be performed at the Sunday evening talent show, volunteering in the children's program, having music or sports sessions (bring musical instruments, sports equipment, CDs and videos, etc, if you like). Youth are invited to come up with additional ideas and to take advantage of Seabeck's opportunities for swimming, boating, volleyball, ping-pong, and hiking.
