Virtual Meet-ups for Teens at Child Care Center

Sat, 04/18/2020 - 11:37

The Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreational Center has launched a series of online meet-ups just for teens.

Meet-ups are twice weekly, on Sundays and Thursdays. The first one is Sunday at 5 p.m., when there will be a virtual murder-mystery game.

On Thursday at 7 p.m., the theme will be "You’ve Gotta Keep Your Head Up," with a guest, Carl Michel, the head of Young Executive. On Sunday, April 26, at 5 p.m., the theme is "Talk Those Sports," also with a guest, John Ramsey, who is the chief executive officer of R.A.M. Academy. Future sessions will address motivation and social/emotional intelligence.

The program is an extension of an existing one called the DREAM Team, which stands for dedication, responsibility, education, attitude, and motivation.

"The heart of the program is building self-esteem, teaching leadership skills, and social awareness," according to the center.

More information and Zoom call-in numbers can be had by emailing Jenna Solis, the center's teen coordinator, at [email protected].
