Registration

An atmosphere of kindness and safety is essential for all to best create community. We expect that all children and youth engage in ways which are kind and safe and have established covenants to encourage that behavior. If there are behaviors which are not kind and safe, we commit to compassionately communicating with children and youth about those boundaries and why those boundaries help to create affirming community. We will also keep parents/guardians in the loop to create supportive structures for their children and youth. We ask: 1) no violence, 2) no weapons, real or imaginary, 3) no "put downs", 4) no "exclusive behavior" (behavior that excludes others).
