LSC
Life
Camp
What is it? LSC is a program implemented by Faribault & Martin
Counties. It is intended to operate one weekend, Friday to Sunday, every
two months. The weekend consists primarily of supervised work activities
but also includes group decision-making discussions, journaling, reflection
on what behaviors are causing the problem(s), physical activity,
environmental education and other topics. The weekend is intended to be a
consequence for some misbehavior – a response intended to deter future
misbehavior. More importantly, it is an opportunity for kids to reflect on
the choices they make. Who is it for? Youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Who do I contact? Human Services Social Services Intake Fairmont 507-238-4757 Blue Earth 507-526-3265 Juvenile Probation Officer Fairmont 507-238-3215 Blue Earth 507-526-6281 Or your local school –
