Outdoor Challenge Program a Success!
 This fall we offered a new program called the Outdoor Challenge Series. Without a doubt, it was a huge hit with the participants who had the opportunity to learn three new life long leisure activities: fishing, hiking and kayaking. Each week before the group would head out to try an activity, they would spend some time in the classroom talking about a variety of topics such as safety, equipment, how to do the activity, and supplies needed. They enjoyed fishing at the Little Island Fishing Pier, hiking at First Landing State Park and kayaking at Lake Smith. We are looking forward to running this program again in the spring and learning more outdoor activities.
