We always wind down summer and welcome fall with flair! This year’s transition was no less spectacular. Here’s a quick-hit summary of just some of our activities in September:

Equine-Assisted Therapy with the Remount Foundation

Family Fishing & Fun Day with Colorado Youth Outdoors
Fort Collins, September 20
Participants: Craig Hospital, OTF, SRU and VA
There are so many ponds to choose from to hook and release bass, trout and blue gill! And the 3D archery course is always a crowd favorite. After a morning of fishing and archery, we gathered for a great pasta lunch from Gondolier Italian Eatery, learned about stretching and centering exercises from our friends at Comeback Yoga – and took in a couple of more hours of fun on the grounds. Our thanks to everyone who made the event possible.
