Through fun and challenging recreational activities, STEPS encourages youth to interact in a nurturing and non-judgmental environment while promoting healthy living habits. Activities like hiking, yoga and laser tag build self-confidence and strengthen both social and personal fitness goals. Activities and locations vary, bringing new STEPS adventures weekly.
