Camp Fowler Celebrates Opening of Carter Family Center

Valley Youth House celebrated the Carter Family Center Grand Opening at Camp Fowler on Wednesday, April 16th! This incredible new space will provide year-round opportunities for recreation, learning, and community connection for young people across the region.
From STEM and the arts to adventure-based learning, the Carter Family Center is designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and spark discovery—rain or shine!
We were honored to welcome legislators, donors, and partners for a special ribbon-cutting ceremony and celebration, including remarks from:
  • Philip C. Jackson, Chair, Board of Directors, Valley Youth House
  • Tom Harrington, President & Executive Director, Valley Youth House
  • PA State Representative Josh Siegel
  • PA State Representative Milou Mackenzie
