Colonia, Yap – This Saturday, August 24, 2024, at 8:00 a.m., the Division of Youth Services at DYCA will hold its first-ever Youth Hiking Adventure at the Colonia Public Park. This event aims to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among Yap's youth and community while appreciating the natural beauty of Yap.
The event will kick off with free health screenings offered by the Waab Community Health Center (WCHC). Additionally, representatives from the Election Office will be on-site to assist with voter registration updates for the 2026 General Election. After the morning registration, participants will be transported by bus to the Tamilyog Trail for the hike.
Upon returning to Colonia Public Park, a raffle drawing will take place, providing attendees with a chance to win various prizes. We encourage participants to remain for the raffle and to utilize the health screening services or visit the Election Office Table if they have not yet done so.
DYCA acknowledges the support and sponsorship of the following organizations, whose contributions have been vital in making this event possible:
Behavioral Health and Wellness Program
Waab Community Health Center
Adalbai Enterprises
Aces Mart
Brite Sun
Cost U Less
Yap Cooperative Association

Reminder to everyone, this event is drug- and alcohol-free.

Activities like these can be so impactful, building confidence, resilience, and a sense of community. For youth who may be navigating personal challenges, having access to positive outlets like this is invaluable. If anyone is facing struggles with substance use, there are resources like outpatient treatment that provide useful information and support to help them find a path to wellness. Here’s to adventures that inspire growth and well-being!
