One youth with photography/computer skills has been working in the Enfield Youth Programs; Monday Makers and Photography. She is a great addition to the program—not only helping youth participate and feel included,but in the technological aspects as well. She is very positive and has been working one on one with a student who needs extra help. Monday Makers: 8 youth: 1 Unduplicated(new); 7 Duplicated(in previous programs)In this program,youth have opportunities to create in many ways. The group might create crafts, using materials found and recycled, new materials, or materials gathered in nature. In this program, youth may work to create positive experiences for themselves in their community, through community events and volunteering. Finally,youth make art, with materials, through writing, or through movement. December brought some new and different skills and crafts. Fran,the high schooler who helps in this program,brought her candle maker and supplies so we were able to make candles simply and safely. The following week,we decorated some of those candles as well as some bought candles with thin decorating wax. Primitive Pursuits: 11 youth: 0 Unduplicated, 11 Duplicated.Enfield Elementary School.

Jed Jordan from primitive pursuits joins us weekly for lessons on firebuilding, friction fires,and natural history. With darkness being a major factor in the few weeks of December primitives,we had a mix of indoor crafts and outdoor activities. On the final day, youth were able to learn about outdoor cooking in a Dutch Oven,and eat delicious pizzas from them. 4thl5th Grade Primitive Pursuits. 10 youth: 2 unduplicated, 8 duplicated.

Included in first lists include ipods, a pillow, mouse traps, and guns with I or 2 bullets. At the end of the program, we will have them make a list again to see how their perspectives have changed after learning some survival skills.

They have also formed teams to begin building-games together—working on many aspects of game making;such as story,character development,art, programming,music, and character interactions.
