We headed back to Sunday River this week and scored a perfect bluebird day. The mountain was wide open, the conditions were ideal, and a few of the guys got to ski for the very first time. Everyone was helping each other out and cheering each other on as they got better and better throughout the day. Looking forward to going back in March!

This is what sets us apart at Foundation House.

We don’t believe growth happens in a bubble. Real life comes with choices, and our job is to help people learn how to handle them.

Our latest Flag Football session brought the energy.
Tyler, an FH alum, joined us and shared a simple reminder that stuck:

Learning how to have fun while sober is a big part of the journey.

Whether it is sports, games, or just being around the community, finding ways to laugh and connect makes all the difference. Lots of good plays and plenty of laughs were had at this flag football session at the Portland Dome!

Last week we hit the ice at the William B. Troubh Ice Arena for hockey drills, a game, and plenty of time learning on skates.
For a few of us, it was our first time ever stepping onto the ice, which made the day even better. Getting out of our comfort zones and having fun together is what it is all about.

This past Friday we celebrated the upcoming holidays with everyone at our annual holiday party, sharing a late lunch, decorating the tree, and spending time together over ping pong and pool. We also made sure to sing happy birthday to Dr. Beth. The day kicked off earlier with flag football at The Portland Dome, and those photos will be shared soon.

A midweek trip we won’t forget.
After settling in at Foxhole Ranch Wednesday night, we hit Sunday River early and enjoyed some of the best early season conditions in years thanks to the 8 inches of snow that fell on Tuesday.
For some it was their first time back on skis or a snowboard in years, including one who had not been out in seven.
We wrapped the day back at the ranch, cooking lasagna together and ending the night as a community.
The next morning we headed back to Portland to settle into the weekend and resume programming feeling refreshed.

A small break in the day, done right.
Some got a lift in or played catch at the rock wall getting ready for softball season, while others chose meditation and yoga.

It’s that mix of daily routines, group settings, and outdoor adventures that shapes the experience here.
