About our program

The summer program is sponsored by the District Attorney´s Office, the Plymouth County Police Chiefs, and the Drug Education / School Resource Officers. The program, offered free of charge, is a one-of-a-kind experience that blends cultural diversity, education, and fun.

The summer program provides a structured environment that instructs young people on responsibility, leadership, risk identification, decision-making, discipline, awareness, and most importantly, how to say no to drugs and alcohol.

The course framework helps participants to recognize the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse and other illegal activities. By combining outdoor activities with Drug & Alcohol Resistance Education lessons we create a unique environment for children to foster growth and respect under the guidance of peer leaders, Drug Education Officers and School Resource Officers from their own communities.
