We’re so proud to share the inspiring story of Geny, a talented Maine artist who dreamed big and turned her passion into a small business — Eccentric Creations by Geny! 💙

Through opportunities offered by programs such as our Creative Trails Programs, Geny was empowered to create, grow, and bring her artistic vision to life. Her story is a shining example of what happens when creativity meets opportunity. ✨

Our Creative Trails Programs continue to open doors for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities — offering meaningful experiences in Music, Publications, Arts, and Exploratory Programs.

👏 A heartfelt thank you to the State of Maine OADS for recognizing our Creative Trails Team, and the important work they do in providing meaningful employment opportunities for those we support!

Last Friday, our halls came alive in the most spooktacular way! What was once an ordinary hallway was transformed into a world of eerie enchantment — draped in ghostly figures cobwebbed corners, floating witch hats, and sights straight out of a Halloween dream. The gym was no exception, fully reimagined as a hauntingly perfect scene from The Nightmare Before Christmas — a true masterpiece thanks to the incredible creativity and dedication of our one and only, Sarah Martin. It truly felt like stepping into the movie itself!

A huge thank you to every single person who lent a hand in bringing this Halloween magic to life — from decorating and setting the mood, to those who stayed later into the night to enjoy karaoke, dinner, and laughter with friends. 💜

Because of you, the individuals we support experienced the kind of joy, wonder, and connection that this season is all about. You gave them a night they’ll remember — and one they truly deserve!

Until next year... 🕷️🎶
Happy Haunting from all of us at Support Solutions! 🦇

From the scavenger hunt and countless rounds of BINGO, to a little friendly rivalry of corn hole, the mouthwatering meals, and sweet treats--every moment was truly enjoyed by all! Even the chilly night couldn’t dim the fun as it only made the campfire that much warmer, and the memories that much brighter!🔥

💚 A HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered to make this a weekend to remember! All of your dedication to make this camping tradition so special, and to create memories that last an entire lifetime!

There’s nothing we love more than seeing the people we support enjoying life to the fullest, and this past weekend was proof of just that. Smiles, laughter, and campfire magic—what more could we ask for?
