In addition, we strive to include activities which also involve family members and the younger members of our group. We provide trips to amusement parks and sporting events such as the Paralympics. We make sure to have at least one "Youth Night" per month which is dedicated solely to activities for our youngest members.We also actively participate in community events such as the Nibroc Festival, World Chicken Festival, and WalkAmerica. We love to have cookouts and parties during special occasions such as Independence Day, Halloween, and Christmas.
We sponsor trips for some of our members to the annual Wheelchair Sports Camp in Minnesota. The week long camp provides members with many activities including basketball, softball, waterskiing, paintball wars, horseback riding, wheelchair racing, archery, jet skiing, swimming, and ultralight flying. Some members of our group also compete in tennis during the Bluegrass State Games held annually here in Kentucky.
We are constantly looking to improve our organization by expanding opportunities to our members. Some activities we are hoping to add are: horseback riding, skydiving, snow skiing, four-wheeling, adaptive gymnastics, and overnight camp-outs.
