When I was a teen growing up in the summer, I had swimming classes and art classes but most of the time I lay around our house during summer dreaming about rock bands and burning our phone lines with friends that lived just a few minutes away from our house 😛 There was also one summer where all I did was practice cartwheels (I was really really bored) and there was also that one summer where my best friend and I spent our days listening to cassette tapes of New Kids on the Block and day dreaming about our lives as Mrs. Joey Macintyre and Mrs. Jordan Knight. Yeah NKOTB!! haha 😛
If you have a teen or know a teen who’s going on summer break soon and you want them to spend summer in a more productive way than I did, you might want to look into OneCore’s Torch program. It’s a three-day leadership and skills development program that’s definitely going to arm your teens with skills that would prepare them face the challenges of the real world. (Because in the real world, my NKOTB trivia can only get me so many wins in 90s nostalgia contests haha)
TORCH is a specially designed program that will enable teens to enhance their leadership skills and achieve greater self-awareness and character development. The program shall cover the following topics:
- Personal Values and View of Self

Torch promotes structured learning experience (SLE) through a mixture of group dynamics, team-building exercises, group discussions, practice of skills and sharing, with one (optional) day of camp activities.
