Supporting adults with disabilities to enjoy active and fulfilling lives.

December 19 started out as an ordinary day at Community Opportunities Club South, but quickly turned into a delightful day when we received an unexpected phone call from Zoe. Zoe is the Education Coordinator at the Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful organization. She remembered our group from our November tour of the city recycling center. She explained to me that Hyden Nursery, a greenhouse that they partner with to enhance their greenspace on the Marquette University campus, left a donation of 200 poinsettia plants at their office and they wanted to share them with their community partners.

The excitement of our day camp trip at Kohler André State Park had been building for months; finally the day arrived. On July 26, the first group from our Community Opportunities Club South, consisting of Rebecca, Mike, Todd, Sandy, Noelle, Brin and Jessica, began their adventure at the TeePee site where they enjoyed lunch. Afterward, they took a nice hike down to the lakefront where some folks waded into the lake to cool off. After their hike they decided to head over to the Nature Center where they had the opportunity to touch and explore numerous animal pelts and saw live turtles and snakes. The group then explored the observation deck at the top of the Nature Center. The group returned to the TeePee and Brin made an awesome fire and the campers roasted hotdogs and ate dinner. On the way home, the group enjoyed a custard treat.
