Kitchen Snapshot: Cooking up a Storm
It may be cold outside, but here at KYC we’ve been sharing good food. Karen from 4H has been taking us through a multi-week crockpot course. With valuable lessons on how they conduct heat (and how a crockpot should be operated safely), Karen got us started. And with chili on the menu, soon there was chopping and cooking to be done.
Another culinary adventure combined budgeting with real-world experience. Teens went to Hannaford’s with a $30 limit to buy a meal for later in the week, sides and all. Pickles were a must, and waffle fries (with extra crispy edges). Chicken quesadillas as the entree was a smart move with crowd appeal. 
And finally, the festive season lingers as long as there’s cookies to be had. We’re lucky to have some treats on hand — from coconut cookies to cocoa with white chocolate chip — baked from scratch by our loving volunteers. Big compliments to our bakers, as we happily hand out one… no two… more.
Annual White Elephant Swap
This year’s swap included mysteries, Grinches, and some festive hats with gifts to match. KYC finds traditions to celebrate every season. So come join us! The more the merrier.
KYC and Whitehorse Recovery
Gracie from Whitehorse brought a special guest to Kingswood today. Tiana (far left) gave a great speech on the impact of teen addiction and her lived experience.
And later, a couch pile!
We’ve got pine trees and waffles at the KYC… and a visit to Santa on the way
It’s the holiday season, and we’re seeing who’s taller — us or the tree? In any case, it’s a nice spot for a good meal.
Also on the horizon, a visit to Santa’s Hut. Teens will be handing out cocoa and cookies as an act of community service. 
Kicking off Summer!
Our first day of summer programs was so fun! We attended a show at the Wolfeboro Public Library by Showtime Steve! It was AMAZING and some KYC teens were even selected as participants in the Mentalist part of the show! Then of COURSE we had to go swimming on this hot day! @wolfeboro.public.library @showtimesteve.official
Last Week of School
To wrap up the school year we went on a great hike up Rines Hill, celebrated our June birthdays, and went to the beach! We hope everyone is enjoying their summer break and not melllltinnnnggggg in this heat! 
End of School Year Celebration
We celebrated and honored our teens, volunteers, and board of directors at a wonderful end of year celebration! Teens expressed their thanks to volunteers one by one with heartfelt messages. We announced our Volunteer of the Year: Diane Bolduc! We presented sentimental gifts to her, plus officially added her name plate to our plaque and Wall of Fame. It was a full and busy school year, servicing well over 100 different teens with 800 program hours, countless meals and outings, and so much laughter! Today- we relax and celebrate the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL with treats, games and more!
Lots of Fun at the KYC!
