Hi Joey!
I thought you might be interested in seeing this short video about Project Adventure and Gloucester High working together this year. We supported kids in their social skills and mental health, especially important in the face of COVID. Gloucester teens came to our ropes course in Beverly to climb and ride the zip line, and our staff member led them through teambuilding and social and emotional learning activities every week at GHS. We’d love to share this with the community!
