Outdoor Tricks For Inside My Toolbox

As I was reflecting on everything from last week and looking through some of the other students portfolios I came across this video that Lexi Snow posted. The video specifically talks about networking with a lot of people and still being able to come across as genuine. The video definitely answered the question I had posed in the previous weeks discussion board, so I am grateful to have it here now.


This week I enjoyed learning about all of the different outdoor programs that are designed for those with special needs. Especially the range of special needs that each of the programs is able to accommodate. It's incredible to see all of these programs reaching out to those who may struggle with what others take for granted. Something specific from this week I gained and want to remember was the list of benefits to outdoor recreation. This was a simple list that can also be used to answer simple questions that sometimes seem hard at the moment. Here is that list.

Something I was able to find on my own was a camp called Camp Kostopulos. This camp specializes in catering to and helping those with disabilities and special needs. They get kids outdoors to experience nature and everything around them. It was really neat to learn about and also, now, be able to refer others to.
