Spend
a week with us and watch the whole year change!
In congruence with AYF's
mission, the staff of Miniwanca create and deliver customized
educational programs. These programs require a balance of physical and
emotional investment from our participants and staff alike, so that our
challenge of discovery produces meaningful growth for each individual
group we serve.
Our facilitators use fun
and engaging experiential activities as metaphors for real world
challenges. Immediate results lay the foundation for long-term benefits
in one's home community. The activities are designed to create a
supportive environment where participants achieve goals the could not
be attained individually.
