4th - 6th Grade OWL is a series of ten workshops designed to help children ages nine through twelve gain the knowledge, life principles, and skills they need to understand and express their sexuality in holistic, life-enhancing ways. Like the other Our Whole Lives programs for different age groups, this comprehensive, developmentally appropriate program introduces key topics like values, body image, social media, gender and sexual identity, peer pressure, consent and healthy relationships with sensitivity and inclusiveness, yet without specifically religious doctrine or reference. The underlying values of the program reflect the justice-oriented traditions of its publishers, the Unitarian Universalist Association and the United Church of Christ, while remaining suitable for use in secular contexts. While we will use it at our church, the UU Church of Berkeley, we will be emphasizing the social justice orientation and the individual's self and family values, rather than spirituality.

This is our nature vigil and credo writing retreat. The weekend will focus on workshopping students credos and providing them enough time (in nature) to contemplate what they believe and what is important enough to include in their credo. This is also the retreat where it would be incredibly beneficial for Mentors to attend to help students with Credo editing. This retreat will end either on Saturday night after dinner or before the church service on Sunday morning, depending on if there is an overnight.
