Celebrating Serving Boys and Their Families for More Than 20 years!
Cherokee Creek is a community for the entire family!
We believe (and studies show) that a critical factor for the long-term, sustained success of a student is FAMILY INVOLVEMENT. The CCBS Family Center is not a physical place, but an important part of our program that engages and connects the entire family in a variety of ways.
Check out our calendar to see the variety of events and gatherings we offer for the family! Click on the buttons below to go directly to the ones you’re interested in attending.
Join in on the fun!
PLANNING DETAILS
- All family visit recommendations are individualized per family for each break.
- Families will work closely with their son’s Primary to plan and finalize all details (such as length, location of visits, etc.)
- During academic break weeks there are a variety of field trips, activities and adventures planned for the students. (As all visits are individualized, it’s common to have students coming and going throughout the week.)
Please contact Amy Gunter, our Family Center Manager, HERE for more information, to express interest or to inquire about availability for any of the opportunities below.

FAMILY THERAPY SESSIONS
On campus, Family Therapy Sessions will be available in conjunction with visits and Family Seminar events. Schedule a family session with your Therapist for either your pick-up or drop-off dates. Be sure to schedule this session so it does not conflict with the parent curriculum workshop. (If you aren’t coming to campus as part of the visit, please connect with your Therapist to schedule a virtual therapy session.) The Thursday and Friday at the start of visits are academic days and may be Family Seminar dates. The last Monday of the break is also an academic day. This will be considered with visit planning. |
