one year left as a teenager! We hope that you'll join us on April for the 19th annual
event. It's sure to provide you with the inspiration that you need to get your growing season off to a great start!
Spring Fest - May 11th and 12th 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
This year the Spring Plant Sale is GOING BIG and evolving from a fundraiser into a people raiser! The whole family will find something that they love from the Plant Sale to Goat Yoga and our first annual Taco Trot! Look for more information soon!
Summer Camps June 18-29 & July 30-Aug 10
Who else is ready for some summer fun? We can't wait for our annual camps to bring kids who are eager to play with the horses, run through sprinklers in the garden and sail egg carton boats down the creek! We are expanding the number of camp spaces available this year so let us know if you need brochures to pass along! |

Energetic Pup Seeks Walking Buddies
Dude needs to move!
Mondays and Tuesdays are some of Dude's favorite days of the week. He's generally on campus these days, getting a lot of attention from students between classes. He also loves that the Transition Program has taken on the responsibility of walking him on Mondays!
The Adventures staff see a lot of benefits from this socialization for both Dude and for the folks that he encounters, so we are looking to grow his network of friends. If you'd like Dude to visit your office, meeting, to greet your classroom or i
f your new year's resolution includes taking more walks,
just get in touch to schedule a visit from Dude!

Equine Assisted Learning
Check out our new brochure!
"I'm tired of learning" shared a recent EAL participant. "I learn from experience and I try to learn from my mistakes, but I'm plain tired of making them." No doubt, that style of learning is exhausting. The notion that there are other ways to learn, even through experience, that can be exhilarating as opposed to draining is what EAL is all about.
As another recent participant said, "I knew I had trouble asking for help, but I had no idea how hard it was for me until the moment I felt sweat pouring down my back and I looked into the faces of people offering to help me move that horse. I was exhausted, but I got excited at the same time because it hit me that I don't always need to do things alone."
EAL is a great opportunity to try a new approach to learning for therapeutic groups, businesses, social or school groups as well as for individuals and families
.
We are thrilled to be a part of both individual growth and the growth of this service. Check out our new brochure on our website for more information!
If you have any questions about what we do, please get in touch, w
e LOVE to talk about the amazing opportunities available in
Adventures!

Meet up with us out in the community!
We hope to see you out and about!

2018 Therapeutic Riding at Adventures
A year of growth on the horizon!
Our riding instructors are phenomenal. Praise from parents and the return rate of lesson participants speak volumes. With great staff like this, it only makes sense to invest in their continued professional growth, so, we are pleased to announce that this coming April, Cindy and Ashley will be attending PATH's TRI workshop at Stoneybrook Foundation Therapeutic Riding Center to achieve the next level of therapeutic riding instructor certification.
There is a bit of lesson space available if you are interested in signing up for our six week sessions. Contact Carrie Moll for more information and to find a spot to shine!
