Purpose of Service.

​

Our Values

 

- Quality time between family members and/or significant others.

- Self-reliance and creativity.

- Working together.

- Time for reflection, processing and appreciating nature.

 

Widely available statistics do not support the value of strong family bonds, building healthy and long-lasting relationships, and nurturing positive self-reliance:

 

- 60 % of married couples work outside the home.

- 35-60 minutes per day is the average time either parent spends with their children.

- Many American marriages or cohabitations end in relationship break-ups, often with   children involved.

- Few groups are focused on family-based activities, although there are many programs in which children may participate.

- Technology consumes more and more developmental time for young people without authentic experience learning other skills and securing true friendships.

​

Parents and children would often choose volunteering, camping or other outdoor activities as preferred mutual time together.
