Greetings from Okoboji!

Remember going on vacation when you were a kid? ​There were long, lazy days, fun activities and lots of sunshine. For many at-risk children across America, however, life on the streets offers no vacation. So, when they come to Boys Town, these young men and women get a chance — many for the first time in their lives — to experience a true family vacation.

In this episode of Follow a Family, the kids head to Boys Town’s lakeside cabin at Okoboji in northwestern Iowa. The days are filled with swimming, boating and sunshine as these kids take a well-deserved summertime break.
