Since the beginning of the year, our Programs team has been filling our calendar with creative, educational, therapeutic and unique activities for our guest families. With the care and funding from wonderful organizations such as the Dater Foundation, we are able to bring experiences to our House for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy. From pottery glazing to star gazing, the list varies greatly, but one thing remains the same: the smiles and joy we see in the faces of our guests. But don’t take our word for it, see the magic in these moments through the very pictures we’ve collected:
