Charles Page Family Village

Charles Page Family Village

The Charles Page Family Village, formerly known as the Widow’s Colony, is a program designed to help single mothers get back on their feet.  The women are provided with house, all expenses paid, so that they can attend school and/or work to better their lives and the lives of their children.
The Charles Page Family Village provides homes for 108 families. The homes are duplexes consisting of two or three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and one or two bathrooms. All units have central heat.
Sand Springs Schools are in close proximity to the Village. All children are required to attend school. Tutoring is offered for children in need of assistance.
Summer activities include a fun-filled week for the children at Camp Charles on beautiful Grand Lake in Grove, Oklahoma. The Village also has recreational areas with playground equipment, as well as a swimming pool with lifeguards on duty in the summer. The mothers and children also have access to the Sand Springs Home Activity Center year-round. It can serve as an after-school program during the school year, and has daily activities in the summer.
