The Chautauqua I-Learn group had a great day exploring the community while visiting local parks, including Russell Joy Park and Point Gratiot, as part of a nature-themed scavenger hunt. ☘️

Group members worked together to complete their scavenger hunt checklist while enjoying the outdoors, sunshine, and beautiful scenery. Along the way, they also had the chance to use physical activity equipment at one of the parks, adding even more movement and excitement to the day. 🌞

There was plenty of walking, laughing, and taking fun photos to capture the experience. We love every opportunity to connect with nature, stay active, and explore our community together! 🦋

🌿 From seed to garden bed, our Harlem Day Hab group has been hard at work this spring!

A few weeks ago, participants planted seeds in cups at our program site and carefully nurtured them as they began to sprout. Recently, they had the exciting opportunity to transplant those seedlings into the Victory Garden, giving them room to continue growing and thriving.🌞

This hands-on gardening experience teaches patience, responsibility, and teamwork while helping beautify our community. We can't wait to watch the garden flourish throughout the season! 🌸🥦

This past weekend, the Chautauqua I-Learn group attended Farm Day in Westfield, NY and had such a wonderful time! 🚜🍇

Thank you to the Concord Grape Belt Heritage Association and the Chautauqua County Antique Equipment Association for putting together such a wonderful event! 🧡

Our Harlem Day Hab group has been keeping busy with some fun community activities! 🥒🐾

Recently, the group enjoyed a hands-on pickle making activity where they sliced cucumbers, created their own pickling mixture, and made homemade pickles from start to finish. Everyone had a great time learning new kitchen skills and creating a fun snack!

The group also spent time volunteering at Paws Inn The Falls Animal Complex, helping care for the animals by feeding them, cleaning cages, and giving them some extra love and attention. It was a rewarding experience for everyone involved and a great opportunity to give back to the community. 🐶🐱

We are so proud of all the hard work, kindness, and enthusiasm our groups continue to show each day! 🧡
