Teens Outside! Update

Club Chameleon just received word that they have been chosen as one of the select organizations in Teens Outside! to continue for a second year and help create the curriculum for outdoor teen programming across the country!  More details are to follow as we plan more exciting adventures as part of this program.

Club Chameleons and TD Banknorth Kids' Clubhouse!

Wow! Club Chameleon was selected to be a part of the TD Banknoth Kids' Clubhouse. The Kids' Clubhouse is a partnership between TD Banknorth, the Boston Bruins and the Boston Celtics to bring children from all over New England to see a home game from either of the teams.  Fourteen of our Club Chamelon kids were selected out of a hat from those who signed up for the chance to go. Those whose names were chosen got to go see a Bruins Game on February 28th. They also rode to and from the game in a Hummer limo, given TD Banknorth T-Shirts, snacks during the game, and were featured on the LED screen in the arena as well as on NESN during the second half of the game.  Hope you saw us!
