TAYke Off!

What:

TAYke Off! is a weekly program that focuses on education, recreation and application. We will cook a meal together, have a life skills workshop, and have some fun with recreational and team-building activities each week. During our time together – we will also apply many of our new skills as we plan our final dance party. TAYke Off! participants will plan and host a community dance after each 10-week program ends. 

• Life Skills Topics may include: Teamwork, Communication, Healthy Relationships,  Safety Skills, Money Skills, Stress Management, Leadership, and Customer Service, Problem Solving, etc.

• Recreational/ Team Building Activities may include: Dance, karaoke, board games, creative activities, and Jeopardy, Scavenger Hunt, Teamwork challenges, Crafts, Bingo, etc.

Who:

A Transitional Aged Youth program (TAY stands for in TAYke Off!). Ages 18-35. Families/caregivers can plan to drop off and pick up, but do not need to stay for the program (unless extra support for the participant is required). 

When:

We will run four 10-week programs. Participants may only sign up for one program. Campers will be supported at a 4:1 ratio. This means there will be one staff supporting four participants.

Dances:

Each session will plan and run a dance. This will help reinforce many life skills (customer service, money management, etc.). All participants will help run and plan this dance, but everyone is invited (whether currently enrolled in TAYke Off! or not.) If you are not a part of the current TAYke Off! session, you will still be invited to the dance to celebrate with us! Please mark the dates of the dances in your calendar – and spread the word. It’s going to be so much fun! All are welcome at the dances! More details will be shared about this as they get closer and our creative event planning team (akaTAYke Off! participants) start the dance planning process.
