Youth Programming in Frontenac

Sarah McCullough | Nov 10, 2021

In the November 4th Frontenac News it was published in the notes from Central Frontenac Council that Rural Frontenac Community Services Youth Program was making a request to Council for use of community halls for programming. The article reported that Rural Frontenac Community Services Youth Program services “10-17 youth in Mountain Grove and Sharbot Lake.” We would like to note that this information does not accurately reflect the program area nor the number of youth we serve.

The RFCS Youth program began in 2007 and provides a variety of programs for youth ages 6-18. We offer babysitters courses, Home Alone courses, Summer Camp, Self-Care groups, Kids Club, virtual activities, and many more. In fact, between August 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021 the youth program offered 21 different programs, activities, or supports for youth in Frontenac County. Including delivering 900+ program kits to youth in the County. This past summer we were able to offer our Summer Day camp with 28 youth registered over the 7 weeks and still had a wait list of youth trying to get into the program. More recently, on the week of October 25-29 we hosted 3 Halloween parties outdoors for youth and their families and had 50 youth attend. These numbers give a more accurate view on how many youth participate in programming offered by RFCS Youth Program.
