Q-What will the children and teens have for topics?

A-The children will be divided into two groups; 10-14 and 15-up.  They will have very interactive sessions (they're way cool) that cover topics like; dating, building relationships, social and business etiquette and manners, other important life skills, and did we mention dating...?

Q- Will there be childcare for children under 10?

A- No, we will not be providing childcare for the younger children.

Q-What do you mean by "entertainment"?

A-By entertainment we mean that there will be fun learning experiences outside of the classroom setting.  A couple of examples would be short dramas, just like the ones you have at home, only more educational in nature. (grin)  Another example would be swing dance lessons for the entire family.  Dancing has other benefits beyond physical health.  It is a very useful social skill and can help deepen relationships.

Q-How much will it cost?

Renew the Crew events are no cost to attend.  The organizers rely on donations and sponsors to cover event expenses.
