Summer Wrap-Up

The Northland summer is short and sweet, but we make the most of every moment! Across our eight summer programs, we spent a couple of evenings each week on the water, enjoyed a ride along the Munger Trail, hit the greens at Enger Golf Course, and took time to move our bodies with intentional yoga sessions.

One highlight of the summer was once again having the opportunity to host the Wounded Warrior Project for a week. Together, we explored local parks, created beautiful stained glass pieces, and spent plenty of time on the water—sailing, kayaking, and enjoying an excursion aboard the Vista Fleet.

While summer may be winding down, we have plenty of exciting activities still ahead. We hope you'll join us for one soon!

Each participant will have a one-on- one volunteer as well as trained instructors helping with their lesson!
