Courtyard

The opportunity for the youth to engage in outside activities extends to the growing of herbs, vegetables, and small fruit. Allowing the youth an opportunity to test out new skills and interests is a compelling reason for the garden. The produce grown in the garden is used in food preparation at the Center to enhance the dining for the youth. Also available in the courtyard area are several outside games for the youth to participate and interact with. This allows for building of relationaships with both other detainees and adult staff, as well as providing open air experiences.
