Destination Imagination

DI is a school-friendly program that builds participants' creativity, problem solving, and teamwork in enjoyable and meaningful ways. The goals of DI are for participants to foster creative and critical thinking, learn and apply creative problem solving method and tools, develop teamwork, collaboration, and leadership skills, nurture research and inquire skills, involving both creative exploration and attention to detail, enhance and apply written and verbal communication and presentation skills (both impromptu and sustained),and encourage competence in, enthusiasm for, and commitment to real-life problem solving.

We need volunteers willing to be Team Managers for DI. If you are interested in being a team manager, please call Dr. Reckewey at 436-1135. This is a wonderful experience for any child!
