Leaders at the Rock House in Idaho Springs want to remind parents about free activities and meals on Wednesdays throughout the summer.
The non-profit organization, at 542 Hwy 103, serves kids hot meals and provides entertainment from 5-8 p.m. on Wednesdays until the start of school.
“We make tie-dye shirts, we do karaoke, archery, rafting and more throughout the summer months,” Rock Director Cheryl Holmberg said.
A mission statement on the group’s website sums up the goals of the organization.
“The mission of the Clear Creek Rock House is to provide our teens a safe, supervised place where they can recreate and receive life skills training from caring adults. The Rock House does this through mentoring, tutoring, after-school programs and events.”
A recent donation of food from the Flatirons Community Church group spread out across the counters ensured there’s plenty to go around for local kids for the remainder of the summer, according to Holmberg.
The group is supported through funds from the county, businesses and donations from individuals, Holmberg said.
“It’s a fun, safe place where they’re supervised by adults,” she concluded.
