Ten Senior Youth attended their first lock-in at the Center on April 21. The youth enjoyed the night with board games, video games and movies. They played a
game of blackout hide-n-seek and had snacks throughout the night. At midnight pizza was ordered, and they celebrated Forest and Hanks birthday singing
Happy Birthday and eating cake. The kids had a great night hanging out and getting to know each other a little better than they already do. These events
help build a strong bond between our Native youth. The first lock-in was a success and there will be more in the future!
