Teen Space
Young people return to the OFC each year to feel the same camaraderie that adult conference-goers love. The education and networking MOSES is known for continues for teens!
Teen space is a place to do crafts, build things or just hang out. Make-and-take workshops result in teen-crafted artwork. This year make bat houses, colonial lanterns, bird houses from gourds, the ever popular tie dye and more.
