Topics covered include\, but are not limited to: family communication\, family relationships\, child development\, and navigating barriers. \nWhat are some of the rewards?\n• We provide dinner every week for families\n• Childcare is provided for children not participating in the program\n• Transportation assistance is available upon request\n• Families receive incentives at each weekly meeting (ie. gift cards\, small gifts\, passes for community activities\, etc.)\n• Graduation ceremony at the end of the 14-week program \nIf you are interested in learning more about the class and enrolling\, you can complete your registration below. \nIf technology is a barrier or you have additional questions\, please contact Erin Huerta at: 913-329-4251 or ehuerta@kvc.org

These experiences are designed to foster the development of belief in their capabilities\, grit\, purpose in serving others and to develop and strengthen healthy connections. Daily themes\, competitions and special events led by the camp staff are conducted to add to the campers’ enjoyment of the experience. \nContact your Case Worker to get registered today! \nApplications MUST be completed by the Case Worker. \nApplicants’ Case Workers and Primary Contacts (Guardians) will receive an email from the Ranch confirming their enrollment. \nYouth are not officially enrolled until the confirmation email is received. \nFor more information about the Ranch or this program\, call the Ranch office at 573-775-5513 or email Brett Bailey at bbailey@kvc.org.
