What is Young Dragons?
Young Dragons is our inclusive adventure club for children and young people. It includes all of our outreach programs, allowing us to customize the sessions to support young people’s specific needs and situations as they join a community and meet other Young Dragons. We also prefer to use the term Young Dragon to refer to the program name with the pupils.
