The Recreation program of Methodist Children’s Home offers
youth from the Waco campus and Boys Ranch a variety of six afterschool programs
to choose from,” said Anthony Mead, afterschool coordinator.
“Choir and theater offers the opportunity to compete in the
Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship (TCAF) league and show off the youth’s
acting and singing abilities,” explained Mead. “Drum line teaches instrumental
skills, music theory and these youth will perform at pep rallies and football
games. The Independent Living program helps juniors and seniors prepare for
college and independence. Horseback riding teaches care of horses and riding
skills, and the physical education (PE) class consists of organized games and
sports that offers a PE credit.”
“The afterschool programs are an essential
part of seeing our youth learn more about themselves and as team members,“ he
added. “These programs embody the MCH life skills. We try to give our youth
holistic programs in which they can express their creative side and step out
and shine. These programs are a continuation of the great works that are being
done in and through our youth throughout various programs.”
