During the Summer, the outdoors beckons us. This past summer, our Youth Team partnered with Outdoors for All to host a series of outdoor outings as a part of our Friendship Club program.
Youth including Alice, pictured here with her mom, ventured into the outdoors. We kayaked, biked, hiked and rock climbed our way through the summer while making friends along the way. While Alice was shy when she first started, she is now helping out her friends and is eager to give out high fives and fist bumps.
After years of the pandemic, spending time in nature and on the water is healing and it’s even better if your friends come along!
