At Blue Sky Acres we seek to help individuals reach goals they never thought possible
What we offer:
Confidence, trust, encouragement, hope, peace, a place to belong, and so much more… all through relationships. Our trained staff and volunteers seek to help our participants recognize the gifts and abilities that God has placed within them and call those things out so they can become all He has created them to be.
Our Programs
Equine-Assisted Activities
We offer groundwork and riding lessons to individuals with special needs with the purpose of building life skills that will make a difference in their daily lives. Lessons are conducted by our highly trained instructors, certified by PATH Intl. and assisted by our team of dedicated volunteers.
Mentored Employment
We provide on-site employment and volunteer opportunities for individuals with special needs after high school graduation in order to help them build job skills and confidently enter the workforce. Each employee is paired with a job mentor that provides them with one-on-one support and supervision while promoting independence.
Blue Sky Moments
Horses can play a huge part in the healing process after trauma. Our foster care and post-adopted program is the first of its kind in our area. We pair each child with a trained volunteer mentor and a horse, allowing them to build resilience through a committed relationship in order to move beyond the trauma they faced early in life.
Summer Camp
During the summer break we offer a Vacation Bible School specifically designed for school-aged children with special abilities. It is a one day a week camp, lasting for 4-weeks. Your child will have an enormous amount of fun learning worship songs, a memory verse, hearing a Bible story, eating fun snacks and creating amazing crafts. Each child will receive a BSA camp t-shirt on the first day.
