Lunchtime Drop-In

Program Paused

During the school year we host a weekly drop-in at lunchtime for any youth to come and be part of a safe community. We provide drinks, snacks and games for the youth. This is a community where we do not push the youth to be someone they are not. Our hope that this space will organically become a place for youth to make their own and enjoy some down time outside of their scheduled classes.

May–September
Every Thursday from 3–5pm we meet at the Haliburton Junction Skatepark to host a drop-in where we provide drinks and optional skateboarding lessons to those who are interested. Our hope is to make this a fun and safe space for youth to come and enjoy community with fellow skaters. We want to see a gathering of positive young people being a light for others in the community. This is a time for not only skateboarders but for bikes and scooters as well. This program is aimed for grades 6–12 but does not exclude anyone.
