Join us for the Sensory Easter Egg Hunt!

This will be an indoor, ticketed event limited to a small group of 12 children to ensure everyone has plenty of space and feels comfortable—not overwhelmed. Children will be able to find guaranteed eggs at their own pace, eliminating any sense of competition.

Each child will receive a thoughtfully curated goodie bag filled with items they’re sure to enjoy (no candy or “junk”). There will also be a photo opportunity, along with a craft and sensory table for kids to explore and enjoy.

The two-hour event is designed to be laid-back, allowing children to move at their own pace and experience a calm, fun egg hunt.

Thank you to everyone who joined our hiking program at McCormick’s Creek yesterday! Activities like these support wellness, connection, and community engagement. We’re so grateful to our Recreational Therapist, Tess Meyer, for leading such a meaningful experience!

“Recreational hiking enhances mental resilience in adults by reducing stress, boosting mood, and fostering mindfulness through exposure to nature and physical activity. It builds coping skills and self-efficacy by overcoming challenges, while group hiking strengthens social connections and emotional support. Regular hiking also improves cognitive function and reduces anxiety and depression, making it a holistic and effective way to promote mental well-being.”
