As the sun settles behind the western horizon, teens continues to grow after dark at New Life Academy. Students enjoy numerous activities that are specially designed for growth. These may include, community service, daily kitchen chores, educational classes, guest speakers. Most all of these recreational activities at New Life Academy are chosen specifically for their ability to teach independence, life skills, teamwork, leadership and problem solving. Many of these activities are also specifically designed to achieve therapeutic objectives, our equestrian program being the best example. Utilizing various exercises, students will learn to work together through planning and executing projects, games, initiatives and activities
Each evening is filled with activities and events designed to help the students develop relationships and exercise their skills and emotional growth. Cultural activities make up a large part of our activities. Every week, one student takes responsibility for planning a fun off-campus activity for her student-peers. Accessing their creative energies, New Life Academy students make blankets, holiday crafts, paint, scrapbook, learn to knit and crochet, and make beaded handicrafts. Our students are within easy driving distance of numerous attractions, parks and beaches. We believe having fun doing healthy activities is an important part of healing and we are perfectly situated for almost all types of recreation.
