ICYMI…we went camping ⛺️ and it was pretty much THE BEST WEEKEND EVER.

We swam, we grilled out and ate great food, went to a rodeo, and just had an awesome time in general hanging out!



PS — We did, in fact, do it again. Camping Trip 2.0 pics coming next!

After eight sessions of drum lessons, our residents had the opportunity to showcase their musical talents at a concert for friends and family on May 27. Here is a snippet of their performance! 🪘🥁🪇

We will link the full video in our comments below.

We love working with Jim -- A Special Need for Music -- and we are grateful for his commitment to create these wonderful opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities!

Stay tuned for more pictures!

Job well done to Amber, who performed today in A Time To Dance - North Canton, OH’s spring recital: Dancing Through Life!

Her hip hop class did an awesome Michael Jackson Mash-Up routine that made us all want to get up and dance along!

Disney Day was today’s theme, and it did not disappoint! We had princesses, Stitch, Eeyore + Tigger, Jedi, Stormtroopers, and, of course, all the Mickey ears!

Our resident “celebrities” out at GentleBrook Greenhouse and Farm were even signing autographs!
