Laraway Youth and Family Services

Programs

All children deserve the chance to learn, make friends, experience fun, and build positive relationships with caring adults. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in Winter are followed by soccer, basketball, and gardening activities in Spring. Youth also enjoy Summer canoeing, swimming, hiking, and biking. The Lamoille River flows along the edge of our property. The gardens, wood shop, and pizza oven create opportunities for life skills building.
