Prom-A-Palooza
Our Best 'Palooza Yet! |
Tearing Down the Strongholds
Challenge Course for Kindergarten - Sr. Citizens |
Pictures and details coming soon on our best 'Palooza yet.
It's also not to early to think about donating your dress after
the prom for next year's Prom-A-Palooza! |
What would you say are the most important skills children learn today? Reading? Math? Science? While these
are essential, there are other abilities just as important abilities like problem solving, cooperation with others,
communication, perseverance, and leadership ensure success in the real world, also. |
Free outreach (no income guidelines)
Would you like to donate?
Our dress inventory is getting really low. Please consider donating any prom dresses
that you may have. We are always looking for civic organizations or high school
organizations to conduct dress drives to help us give the girls lots of options to choose
from. Please contact Joyce Brown, if interested.

Our challenge course is appropriate for ages
Kindergarten through senior citizens, as most challenges can be
adapted to the age and abilities of the participants.
So, not only will children and youth develop these important
life skills, but our challenge course is a great way to get young
people outside, away from TV and video games and explore/enjoy
outdoor activities. Our motto is ‘No Child Left Inside’!

Bridge of Hope
Therapeutic Riding Center |
Riding Center
Providing Opportunities for Identified 'At-Risk' Youth |
Put the yellow ring on the blue pole,
next put both arms out and find your balance, now use your reins
to make Silverado go to the left of the orange cones” are
examples of verbal instructions riders are asked to follow as
they participate in the Bridge of Hope Riding Center.
"Learning to approach & groom a
horse"
|
The
riding center has recently begun its pilot program with two
young boys from Osceola.
Each child rides for an hour then helps to unsaddle
Silverado and groom him.
During the riding session, riders are asked to follow
directions, stretch their bodies and minds, and in turn
learn how to rein the horse, signal the horse when to go and
stop, and learn to respect the volunteers and horse
involved. |

Who doesn’t love horses? Most kids and adults even if they don’t ride, still love these beautiful creatures!
Horses are perfect for teaching respect, patience, responsibility, and developing a sense of self-confidence.
volunteer training started in in March of 08 and continued through May. |
The riding center is focusing on
providing opportunities for identified ‘at-risk’ youth to
develop job and life skills through a natural horsemanship
environment. |
