Girl Scouts discover the wider world around them through the warm, nurturing world of Girl Scouting. As they participate in activities close to home, Daisies discover they are special, and the world...whether it's the magic of nature or the art of dance...offers new and exciting challenges and opportunities.Drama Kids
Drama Kids develops speaking skills, confidence, and acting skills in children and young adults from ages 5-12. In order to grow, students need to gain independence and self-esteem, yet work as a team. They want to be challenged and yet feel supported and praised for their efforts. All of these qualities are wonderfully built through drama and in particular, through the internationally recognized Drama Kids program.
