Our Adventurer scouts enjoyed their Christmas party! 🎁 They decorated gingerbread houses, gave and opened their secret Santa gifts, and had a left-right passing party! They each received a Nerf gun during the passing party. So, of course, an epic Nerf battle ensued after! Another great year

Back in November, our Adventurer Scouts started their next Servant’s Heart pin! They began with filling boxes for Operation Christmas Child, giving gifts to children in another part of the world. Next, they made Christmas cards for Wounded Warrior Project, sending holiday cheer to our American soldiers wounded and being treated overseas. Then, they created paper flower bouquets for nursing home residents at Hill View Retirement Community in Portsmouth. They have the greatest hearts and always ask for our next community project ♥️

We had a magical Polar Express movie night! They had their tickets punched, enjoyed hot cocoa and goodies, and heard the ringing of their bell! Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻

We are so grateful Santa took time out of his busy schedule to visit our Malibu Jack’s Christmas event! The kids loved seeing him, giving their lists, and playing a game or two! Thank you Santa and safe travels! 🎅🏻

We had a fantastic time last night at Malibu Jack’s! Having the space all to ourselves allowed for a fun and judgement-free environment where we could limit stimuli as much as possible with no music and public crowds. Us at the Autism Project are blessed with the ability to hold such a memorable event and invite all of our Challenger sport friends and their families. The smiles you see are all thanks to generous donations from Ernie West Post 95 AMVETS Ladies Auxiliary, Portsmouth Eagles 4285, and American Legion Post 471, as well as the work and dedication of our membership and the rest of the community. Merry Christmas! ♥️

A sensory friendly experience in our area! Life Point Church is providing another wonderful Sensitive Santa time, Friday December 12th from 5-7PM! 🎅

We are so excited to host our annual Sensitive Santa event! We could use your help making this event great. This is our digital invite for this year and would really appreciate your help getting it in front of whoever could benefit from it. This is a carefully planned experience for people who have sensory needs that could effect them when trying to experience some Christmas traditions like meeting Santa. All the information you need is on the image so it is really easy to save and share! Thanks everyone!

We enjoyed a private viewing of Zootopia 2 this weekend! We loved having our friends at Just 4 Fun Bowling join us!
Thank you to Wheelersburg Cinema for always being professional, kind, and accommodating! We also would like to thank our great community, including the Portsmouth Eagles 4285, for allowing us to have these opportunities!
