A special shout-out and thank you to Hooray For Hollywood for their generous donation in support of ESI’s Explore Summer Program! We are so grateful for their commitment to helping create meaningful opportunities for young people in our community.

ESI’s Explore Summer Day Camp offers a supportive and inclusive environment where individuals of all abilities, ages 14–21, can explore new activities, make friends, build confidence, and feel a true sense of community.

This donation helps us continue creating a safe, positive, and enriching experience for every camper while supporting each person’s individual needs. Thank you, Hooray For Hollywood, for making a difference! ✨

One of our ESI MyCommunity groups made the most of the cooler temps with a fun trip to Door County! The group visited The Farm and The Garden Door, where everyone enjoyed feeding and interacting with the animals, as well as exploring the unique display gardens. Another great day filled with fresh air, smiles, and meaningful community connections.

No rain in the forecast means our Day Service Program participants are stepping in to help keep the planters watered. We’re grateful for their helping hands and the care they put into keeping our outdoor spaces beautiful. 🌺

When it’s hot and steamy outside, it’s the perfect time to cool off with snow cones inside! 🍧

Thank you to the Kewaunee County Fair for creating this opportunity for everyone to experience the magic, joy, and community spirit of the fair.

Today at the Kewaunee County Fair!

We’re proud to offer our Sensory Accommodation Ride Session today from 12:00 PM–5:00 PM.

This special ride session is designed to create a more comfortable and welcoming fair experience for individuals with sensory needs and their families.

During this time:
• Reduced noise
• Dimmed lights
• Quieter rides
• Carnival games will have lights and sounds turned off

Included with your paid fair admission, this is one more way we’re working to make sure everyone can experience the magic of the fair.

We can’t wait to welcome you today!

One of our MyCommunity Programs had an adventure at the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary in Green Bay! The group enjoyed exploring the sanctuary and spotting all kinds of Wisconsin wildlife along the way. We even found Ozzy, who is part of the sanctuary’s summer program.

The official start to the Kewaunee County Fair is a couple of days away, but we kicked things off early with some amazing creativity and hard work!

Our clients entered their projects in the 109th Annual Kewaunee County Fair Open Class, where each project was judged, and participants had the opportunity to share with the judges how each item was created.

In total, they earned 5 first-place ribbons and 1 second-place ribbon. Great job to everyone who participated!

If you’d like to see their projects in person, stop by the Expo Hall—they’ll be on display all weekend! ✨
