Summer with the Lussier LOFT

Summer at the Lussier LOFT is filled with a fun range of activities, field trips and mini courses. Middle school youth can learn to fish, join Bike Club, play group games and learn to be a part of their community, and young people can even shape their own activities with the support of our amazing staff.

Garden Fit is a popular part of our program for incoming 6th graders. Led by Howard Hayes, youth participating in this middle school transition program spend time learning, growing and having fun at the Youth Grow Local Farm, and they participate in fun outdoor adventures like canoeing and kayaking at Brittingham Boats.

Hours: Full day or half day program Monday thru Friday, 9am – 4:30pm or 12pm – 4:30pm
