We had a great time at our first-ever Dad Skills Camp last Saturday — a fun, interactive day where dads learned and practiced hands-on skills to help support the health and well-being of their newborns.
A special thank you to our amazing partner agencies, Action for Children, Triple P parenting at AFC, FatherUp and the Delaware County Board of Developmental Disabilities, for helping make the day possible!
We’re proud of the dads who joined us, learned something new, and shared in the experience. We’re already looking forward to bringing Dad Skills Camp back in 2027!
