A Visit to Lakes Region Humane Society!
One of our favorite outings is a visit to Lakes Region Humane Society, where we get to socialize with the animals! Last visit, we played with Bagel and Jack, two very sweet cats! There were also some adorable kittens we got to play with! @lrhs_pets_and_friends

KYC Swims with Chucky’s Fight
We took our annual dip in the name of substance misuse prevention with the one and only Chucky Rosa of @chuckysfight! Our trip to NH Seacoast was beautiful and meaningful, as we swam in the ocean to remember lives lost to substances and to encourage others to make good choices. Thanks to all the teens who joined us, and to Chucky and Mary Rosa for hosting us! It was a great August program, before we got back to school!
A Hike Up Bayle Mountain!
Last week we hiked Bayle Mountain in Ossipee, followed by a quick swim to cool off! Great job, teens! It wasn’t easy but you did it!
Open House at the Kingswood Youth Center
This month the KYC hosted an Open House! Visitors enjoyed refreshments, checking out what’s going around the KYC (monarch butterflies! Cup towers!) and played some heated games of corn-hole on our handmade boards! Thanks to all who swung through! It was great to see old and new faces alike!
A Visit with Alex Kershaw at The Wright Museum
The Kingswood Youth Center had the opportunity to meet and visit with WWII expert, journalist, and author Alex Kershaw at the Wright Museum last week. A Netflix mini-series was made based off of his best-selling book The Liberator. Alex chatted with our teens and both asked and answered thought-provoking questions. A huge thank you to @wrightmuseumofwwii for hosting this event!
Sunset Swim and a Campfire!
Last week’s programs didn’t disappoint! A campfire with s’mores and a sunset swim really made for a classic evening program at the KYC!
