Upcoming at the NOCC
April is here, and we at the NOCC are springing into action with some programming you won’t want to miss. Read below to learn about our upcoming events, such as:
- Prescription Drug Take Back Day
- All About Connections Suicide Prevention Trainings
- Level Up Camp
|
|
| The North Oakland Community Coalition will be hosting an All About Connections Suicide Prevention Training on May 7th. At this training, we cover what to look for in friends and family members that may indicate they need professional help, how to encourage them to get that help, and how to connect them to the resources they need. The training acknowledges that talking about this can be difficult and gives tips to help make it easier. If you would like to register for this training, please visit noccmi.org or click here. |

| Registration for our 2024 Level Up Camp is now open! Youth entering 6th grade for the 2024-2025 school year are invited to join the NOCC for a 4-day camp. Camp will run Monday through Thursday from 9:00am-1:00pm. Your camper will play games, create art, and participate in group activities while becoming better prepared for their middle and high school years. Topics covered include resiliency, goal setting, communication skills, dealing with stress, drug and alcohol refusal skills, and more. This is also an excellent opportunity for your child to become familiar with the middle school setting, practice opening lockers, and meet new friends that will be a part of their middle school experience. Campers will have so much fun they won’t even realize they are learning skills that will strengthen their future!
This year, both weeks of camp will take place at Scripps Middle School. Students may attend either week of camp but must register under the school they will be attending in the fall. There is a $40 deposit upon enrollment that can be reimbursed or donated to the NOCC at the camp’s end. You can register your student for Level Up Camp by visiting noccmi.org. |
