Darby youth to write a script,act out and film a movie.The first few meetings we had students
interview each other,as a way for them to get to know each other and to get a feel for what they

about shelter making and the decisions they would make in building a shelter at the
upcoming winter overnight in February.
5" Grade Primitive Pursuits: 5 youth, 5 unduplicated. Since this program has some
overlap with the middle school program,we have been working on many of the same.
skills such as tracking,firebuilding and outdoor safety. We also have one younger youth
who has been very into pretending to be a Silver-Backed Gorilla. Instead of discouraging
it,we have been focusing on how to use it to build his:sensory awareness;and to build his
tracking skills.He is close to the ground,so'.
o we are asking him often to check out the
tracks he sees,and his skills are building quickly Other youth have caught on as well,
and instead of pushing him away,I have noticed them asking him what tracks he has seen

healthy living. Youth set nutrition and fitness goals and work toward them, earning incentives
which recognize efforts and successes. This program meets at Boynton and has participants,f tom
Boynton, as well as a high school helper from Ithaca High. This month activities included
cooking healthy treats that were sweet yet healthy(whole wheat apple and yogurt wraps)and.a :.
trip to the Sciencenter,,which blended science education and exploration with exercise. The .
Sciencenter trip was our first day of using a pedometer,as a way to motivate youth to walk their
10,000 steps a day.
High School Jobs: 1 Participant: 1 Unduplicated. The High School Jobs Program connects youth
with jobs as assistants am E,field Youth Programs as well as with other Enfield and lthaca

employer/employee appropriate behavior, as well as gaining life skills associated with the.
specific job. Currently one youth is working in the Eat Fit Program,assisting in the afterschool
program and on program trips.

Primitive Pursuits Winter Overnight: 2 youth:2 duplicated. Overnights are a wonderful.
opportunity for youth to practice and evaluate what they have learned in the Primitive
Pursuits Program and put their skills to use. Youth often build their own shelters to sleep
in, need to make fires in order to eat, and are required to use outdoor safety precautions
such as staying dry in cold weather. Two youth from Enfield joined youth from Lansing
on a very wet, snowy and cold overnight at 4-H Acres;there were late cancellations due
to weather and sickness. Our group was given a challenge of a wet rainy/snowy day with
the temperature dropping later in the day. We worked hard on creating snow shelters that
would keep us dry and warm through the night, and in getting dry firewood. One youth.
decided to challenge himself with a solo shelter,which he built under the supervision of
Primitives staff. He was very successful,stayed warm and dry,and communicated,a
strong sense of self-confidence and pride.
Photography: 5 youth, 0 Unduplicated, 5 duplicated. The photography program gives ..
youth skills around use of cameras--digital,film, and movie-.. as well as allows youth to
be creative and share this creativity with friends and family. This program is offered for
the first time to Dewitt youth from Enfield. They have been working with youth from
Joint Youth Commission to photograph nature,people and objects around the Ithaca area.
In February,we worked on choosing one photograph for the framed gallery piece,m well
as on collages.Youth also planned activities, games and snacks for the gallery which we`
had on Feb 23rd. Participants were very proud of their work and delighted in showing
their work to both family and CCE staff who dropped by. It was also a nice oppozhmity
for parents to come and share in their youths'work.
Dewitt Lunchtime:)often meet students during lunchtime—to recruit, talk about youth
employment, do informal activities, and sometimes planned activities with small groups. This.
lunchtime interaction is a chance for me to encourage youth who may have not participated to try
something new and come join a program,continue building relationships with students,offer . ..
crafts to youth from Enfield and sometimes their friends as well,and to gain perspective about
their lives at Middle School.

incentives which recognize efforts and successes. This program meets at Boynton and has
participants from Boynton, as well as a high school helper from Ithaca Iligh� This program has
a nutrition/cooking element each week,as well as an exercise component.One highlight in March
was a lesson on fat.Youth were able to look at a big mac, and spoon out the amount of'faf
(Crisco)that was contained in the big mac. This gave the participants a clear picture of how
much fat was in the food;they were very impressed by this.Youth were given water bottles and a
reminder of the importance of drinking water,and fancy jump ropes that could be used both on
their own,and could be connected to each others for group jumping.
High School Jobs:5 youth: 3 duplicated,2 unduplicated
One youth is working in the Eat Fit Program, and 4 youth are meeting with me about work
possibilities.One is being trained to help out at the Primitive Pursuits Program,and is finishing

if she could work something out to work in Enfield again. in the past she has helped to iviAe a
Stop-DWI grant to both pay her wages as well as to provide a program for Enfield Elementary
Youth,and she may be able to do a similar program this year.

Primitive Pursuits:13 youth, 13 Duplicated.Enfield Elementary School.

Youth learn ancestral living skills and nature awareness while building self confidence through
Primitive Pursuits programs. We have been working on many of the same skills in both of these
programs such as tracking,firebuilding and outdoor safety. We had a difficult yet hugely
educational experience—my coworker Jed heard about a freshly killed deer and brought it to
program. It brought wonderful discussions about animals, safety around dead animals,ethics of
eating animals,about animal anatomy and physiology,and emotions around death.Students were
talking about it to each other all week, and came to the program the next week with lots of
questions,and concern for the deer a week later.

before and afterward what inight.the animal helper's job entail. We also have people with .
different animal careers talk about their jobs, what they do, what their training was,.as well.as
talk about their lives in general. In April,we visited the Lab of Ornithology twice,since the first
day only a few could go,.and they wanted to share what they learned with their peers.it was a:
great way for youth to take charge.and enthusiastically teach some ornithology lessons.
High School Jobs: 3 youth: 3 duplicated,0 unduplicated The Youth Employment Pt-ogram:grves

P Grade Arts and Crafts: 3 participants: 3 Duplicated.Arts and Crafts offers youth a chance to..
blend their creativity while learning life skills. Youth also in Arts and Crafts can learn about
crafts that could offer them a way to make money, both as fundraisers for the program, and for
their whole lives. This group met one time in April, as a filler before a photography program..We
used fimo clay to-make beads,pencil holders, and pins:Youth learned how to use the clay
properly by rolling it thin,and then cooking it to harden it.
Girls Group: 14 Participants: 11 Duplicated,3 Unduplicated.Van trips, and Enfield Community
Center. Girls Group is a youth driven program, inspired by girls who met in the 2006girls
group who wanted to meet again, as well as by a group_of girls who wanted to do a Makeover
Beth"Program. Girls give their input in terms of some of the programming,such as planning
healthy snacks, reasonable "Makeover Beth"projects, and planning an end of the program
special event. Projects and discussions focus on self-confidence, leadership,and positive self
image. In April,we met in Stewart Park to build a cookfire for snack and walk around the park

been noticing how the landscape has been changing as the weather warms,how every week the
plants have grown noticeably,and have learned new wild edibles We-also started to make some
new baskets with a honeysuckle stem frame, and made hoops and sticks for a hoop toss game.
