Youth & Children Programming

NEW THIS YEAR! We will be offering 3 different tracks based on ages to provide a more tailored experiences for the different age ranges.

Children: Ages 3-9
Youth: Ages 10-14
Young Adult: Ages 15+


We are pleased to offer childcare and activities for children 3-9 years of age. Youth ages 10-14 and young adults ages 15+ will have the opportunity to attend several talks on leadership and building a life of purpose. We are also excited to continue a favorite Awakening tradition: The Children's Stock and Cookie Sales. This very special experience gives children the opportunity to explore what it takes to build a company, decide on costs, manufacture their goods, and make some cash while being able to pay dividends back to their stockholders.

The Cloister has a number of activities that families may also wish to check out!
