Wild Summer at Fossil Rim
Each summer our girls living at the Group Home go on a summer vacation. This year's excursion is a first and WILD!
Thanks to a special grant program at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Our Friends Place is able to send our girls on a two-day wildlife adventure at no cost. The girls will make s'mores over the campfire and fall asleep in bunks to the night sounds of Fossil Rim. They'll go on nature hikes, learn astronomy and Native American lore, meet and greet the animals, and probably visit Dinosaur Valley in Glen Rose, too.
Our Friends Place is very appreciative of Fossil Rim Willdlife Center for making this unique experience and great summer vacation possible for our girls.
