Kids Kamp/Challenge
Week
Mountain View Prevention Services has participated in Kids Kamp and
Challenge Week held each year at South Lewis Central School (SLCS).
These week long programs are held each summer and are based on the
Kids Who Win, Nine Winning Practices a curriculum developed by
Robert Newberry, Elementary School psychologist in the SLCS district.
Kids Kamp is open to children in 5th grade.
Challenge Week is open to students in 8th grade.
Kids Kamp and Challenge week are programs where children learn the
importance of dreams and aspirations. Every child has the capacity to
achieve his or her dreams and goals in spite of the challenges we each
confront along the way. Kids Kamp and Challenge Weeks are the building
blocks for many in making their own dreams come true. Mountain View
Prevention Services is proud to support this program.

SuperStage
SuperStage is a
summer program that presents an opportunity for children to be
introduced to the theater experience. For several years, MVPS has
partnered with BRCS, LACS and SLCS by providing 2 interns to assist the
school directors with their respective productions. MVPS has received
funding to hire these 2 interns through the Pratt Northam Foundations’
Summer Workership Program.
Children participating
in SuperStage learn about auditioning, acting, designing stage sets and
props, and making costumes. The program runs for six weeks culminating
with the show date. Participants experience first hand all that is
involved in producing a theatrical play.
This is an experience
where cooperation and creativity take place, self –esteem and
friendships develop.
In 2009, six
performances took place with each performance hosting an audience of 150
– 200 people. In addition to the Pratt Northam Foundation grant for the
interns, the Stewart’s Holiday Match Program has made an annual
contribution towards supplies. The children involved in SuperStage also
take part in the Lewis County Fair parade.
