Here's a sobering fact: children who have a family member dealing with addiction are four times more likely to become addicts themselves. That's why it's important to help these young people break that cycle. Where better to build coping skills and confidence... than camp?
Camp Mariposa is a free weekend camp in St Joseph County where kids talk about addiction, trust each other, and have fun doing it.

About this segment:
Read to a Therapy Dog
New Buffalo Township Library
Children who are learning to read are often hesitant about their reading abilities. Many kids feel more at ease reading to pets, who are simply there to listen—not to judge how well they are reading. Studies have shown that children who read to dogs achieve higher end-of-year reading scores. Young readers can practice reading skills at the New Buffalo Township Library once a week in a new Read to a Therapy Dog session.
