Paint & Sip (New!)
Attention artists! We are introducing a brand new art program for adults who want to have fun creating with their friends! Each week, we will socialize
with a seasonal beverage followed by guided painting instruction. With step-by-step instruction, participants will create a new art piece each week. By the
final day of program, we'll have a portfolio full of artwork to showcase! Family members and friends are invited to come enjoy the Paint & Sip Art
Extravaganza on Wednesday, February 27!
Goals: Learn basic painting skills. Improve ability to follow step by step instructions. Increase social engagement with peers through common interest of art
making. Develop self-expression through a visual medium.

Horseback Riding
Saddle up! Equestrian Connection is a one-of-a-kind stable that provides therapeutic horseback riding specifically designed for individuals with special
needs. Participants will work to gain strength, flexibility and balance through riding. Each participant will learn how to ride, groom, saddle and tack a horse.
During the program, the group will also be engaged in other horse-related activities and a snack will be provided each week. A waiver will be sent prior
to program and must be returned to the NSSRA office by Friday, December 28. Note: As a safety precaution for all, participants over 250
pounds will do ground work with horses instead of riding. Participants with physical and medical conditions, please use caution. No program
January 24.
Goals: Increase flexibility and range of motion while on the horse. Gain self-confidence and a sense of control through stable skills. Develop companionship
with the horse and a sense of responsibility.
