In the Philadelphia, PA area, twelve teens were hosted by six families. Teens and hosts
shared a variety of experiences together this summer. The Sean McBride AOH of Glenside, PA,
a steadfast supporter of the program for the past 6 years, held a lovely reception that all
the teens and their host families enjoyed. Thanks to Bucks County River Country and Kate & Dan Breen
(Point Pleasant, PA), teens had the opportunity to spend the day tubing down the Delaware River.
Teens also participated in a workship facilitated by the Bucks Country Peace Center (Langhorne, Pa)
in partnership with the Children's Home Society of Trenton, NJ.
