Schlitterbahn--August 2012
San Marcos children end summer with a big splash
SAN MARCOS, Texas, April 19, 2012 -- A local non-profit organization, The PODER Learning Center, is hosting an annual Schlitterbahn trip for the children of the families involved with the San Marcos Housing Authority.
“We strive to provide our youth with the opportunity to learn many of the skills needed to become strong community leaders,” said Maria Calcaben, PODER Resident Services Coordinator.
The San Marcos Housing Authority hosts annual events for the members and their families. One of these events consists of the PODER Learning Center, along with two other programs, taking the children to Schlitterbahn at the end of each summer.
Calcaben said PODER currently has around 20 children that attend their after-school care services. Around 40 to 50 children overall attend the Schlitterbahn trip. Calcaben said end of summer is a perfect time to go because it is right before school starts and puts a nice ending to the children’s summer activities.
PODER Learning Center hosts fundraisers to raise money to allow the Schlitterbahn event to happen. Calcaben said they hold garage sales, cook lunches, and provide raffles to raise the money.
“The PODER coordinators and myself put the event on, but we couldn’t make it happen without our parent chaperones and volunteers that come out and help with the children,” said Calaben. “It really is a great event that we look forward to every year.”
The San Marcos Housing Authority offers many different supportive services to the citizens of San Marcos. One of the components is the Youth Development Program, which provides a place where school-aged children in San Marcos can go to find support and encouragement. The Youth Development Program serves around 90 children at three different sites, one of them being the PODER Learning Center.
