Registration forms are sent home with students at participating schools.
We offer approximately 4 classroom lessons at each school facilitated by the instructor. Lessons include self-confidence, the 5C’s of team building (confidence, consensus, commitment, collaboration, and communication), decision making & problem-solving, and internal vs. external conflict. This includes an experiential learning field trip facilitated by YMCA Teamwork staff at the O’Fallon Park Rec Complex YMCA in November & December
Additional classroom visits focused on conflict resolution. This phase culminates in an experiential field trip at YMCA of the Ozarks Trout Lodge/Camp Lakewood. This is a two-day, overnight trip with activities facilitated by YMCA of the Ozarks staff in February- March
