For Spiritual Seekers & Justice Makers

OWL – Our Whole Lives
Comprehensive Sexuality Curriculum

South Valley will be hosting an OWL CAMP for High Schoolers over the weekends of April 26-27 and May 3-4, 2024!

    Friday, April 26th — 5-8pm (dinner served)

    Saturday, April 27th — 9am-5pm (lunch served)

    Friday, May 3rd — 5-8pm (dinner served)

    Saturday, May 4th — 9am-5pm (lunch served)

These four days will cover the complete unit.  We recognize that there may be the possibility of attrition between weekends, but also recognize that the case is often similar over the usual 20+ week span. 

We thought it well worth it to move forward with this plan, hoping that there are those among you who would have youth that would participate in this important, fun, life-saving program this spring!

Please contact owl@svuus if you’re ready to sign up!

Looking forward,

Robb Carlson & Trista Emmer

Founded in 1999, Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a collaboration between the United Church of Christ and the Unitarian Universalist Association.

OWL covers human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society and culture. It contains no religious references or doctrine.

OWL is used in faith communities as well as by public, charter, and private schools; after-school programs; youth groups; home schoolers; colleges; and groups in other settings.

OWL classes are taught by trained volunteers following a set curriculum. For more information, click here.

Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, OWL not only provides facts about anatomy and human development but also helps participants clarify their personal values, build interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.
