What a fun day at the lighthouse! Yarmouth Life Skills participants enjoyed a wonderful day exploring the lighthouse grounds, taking in the beautiful scenery and making memories together! They had a blast riding golf carts along the trails, followed by a relaxing picnic lunch on the grounds. It was a perfect day filled with fresh air, laughter, friendship and plenty of smiles!

Whether we're working out at Mariners on Main, strolling along the waterfront or enjoying a rainy- day indoor pool party, complete with ice cream and mocktails, YLS participants know how to make the most of summer! At Yarmouth Life Skills, summer is all about staying active, building connections, trying new things and enjoying time together in our community. ☀️

Summer break? Not quite! ☀️ 😉
While our Participants were enjoying some time away, our team was busy learning, growing and keeping our skills sharp! We're committed to staying up-to-date with training, best practices and new approaches so we can continue providing the safest, most supportive environment possible for the people we serve. The photos in this reel show just one of the training sessions our Team participated in over the summer. There was plenty more learning happening behind the scenes! Because when it comes to the safety, well-being and success of our Participants, we never stop learning.

Whether we're on the sand, by the lake, or relaxing on the grass, summer is always better when it's shared with friends. High tide, low tide, or lakeside.. every picnic is about friendship, laughter, good food and making memories together. We're so grateful for these simple moments that bring us together and remind us that the best part of summer isn't where you are -- it's who you're with! ⛱️☀️👫
