Leadership Lackawanna, a program of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, selected the Catherine McAuley Center’s proposal to create an Outdoor Learning and Activity Center as its Core Program Project for 2019-2020. The activity center will provide opportunities for our mothers and children to spend time and interact with one another in an environment that is safe and stimulating. This is especially important during the summer months when our children do not have the benefit of structured learning activities provided in school and their families lack the resources to enroll them in camp.
Installation of the project was delayed upon COVID-19 social distancing guidelines, but project volunteers and McAuley Center staff came together to finish their plan on Aug. 19, 2020. This video documents that assembly.
