Time Lapse Photography

The teens of the 808 Photo Club have gotten pretty good with the camera, so we decided to try something new: time lapse photography!

This involves using the Nikon's settings to take a series of photos a preset time apart. In our case, we took one picture every 5 seconds, and had the camera take 250 pictures. We were standing outside waiting for it to finish for 20 minutes, but it was worth it!

Check out the video below:


New Music!

The teens of the 808 Music Crew have been busy this spring, laying down all kinds of new tracks with Mark. Check out some of our new music below. Make sure your speakers are LOUD!

Pasta Dinner!

The 808-812 Youth Council hosted another pasta dinner last night for our friends at the Inman Square apartments. The teens helped cooked the food, set up the room, and served as waiters/waitresses, hosts, and drink servers.

The teens did a great job with the event. We sold four of the Photo Club's pictures as well! We also raffled one off to a lucky diner.

Overall, the dinner was a great success and was a lot of fun. We enjoyed spending time with the elderly residents at Inman, and they seemed happy to have us.

Check out some pictures of the dinner below!

Flowers blooming in summer!

Last week in the Activity Room, the kids made a pretty cool craft: tissue paper flowers!

Molly helped the kids choose their colors, scrunch up the tissue paper, and put them all together into a very cool creation.

Check out some pictures of the activity below!



808 visits TD Garden!

The kids and teens of 808-812 were fortunate enough to be invited to the Salvation Army's "back to school" event at TD Garden in Boston last week. The kids got to shoot baskets on the Celtics' hoops, shoot into the Bruins' nets, take pictures with championship banners, and more.

At the end of the event, the kids each received a brand new backpack filled with school supplies. The kids and teens had a great time. Check out some pictures from the event below!
