Clear Creek Rock House is in the process of developing a student board. Currently, Clear Creek Rock House has between 10-30 young people who come in for the after school programs on any given day. Special events draw between 75-125! Different program offerings attract different young people. That means we have reached at least 400 youths. As you can see in this community of 10,000 residents with between 500-600 middle and high school students, Rock House is serving a large majority of our youth.   Clear Creek Rock House needs your financial support in it's on-going struggle to provide a safe, alternative place for our community's young people to gather, enjoy, learn and experience the rewards of having a rock-solid foundation and positive life skills as they emerge into adulthood.
