HOME-LIKE LIVING
St. Peter's Home for Boys recreation program is not designed in a traditional institutional model with the purpose to keep boys busy to keep them out of trouble.
In a family, recreation for adolescent is not institutionalized, but rather the children are encouraged to engage in recreation activities away from the family. St. Peter's Home for Boys support our boys in seeking recreational opportunities away from the agency, including school activities, Boy Scout Activities, Boys Club Activities. St. Peter's Home for Boys also uses community resources whenever possible for sport recreation activities in the same manner as a normal family.
St. Peters Home for Boys through the use of volunteers has created the Personal Recreation Program . The volunteer Personal Coaches help boys catch up on lost childhood experiences and introduce boys to self recreational activities and hobbies for the future life.
One of the demands placed on the boys is that they engage in activities with their peers in the community. The Friday-Saturday Night Date Program allows the boys to recreate within a normal adolescent framework to engage in group and individual dating activities.
In all healthy families the family engages in recreational activities that
are normally reserved for family experience. These are activities which a
normal adolescent would not normally do with their peers. The weekend
recreation Cultural and Social Enrichment
Experience activity program is designed exclusively around these
sort of activities.
