Although these past twelve months have challenged Mountain Lake Services with a continuing pandemic and frequent staffing shortages, these facts making dances, holiday parties, and large group activities problematic if not impossible, our recreational team managed to be consistently creative.
The Therapeutic Living & Recreation Center in Elizabethtown was engaged regularly by the Community Services participants. Lively weekly painting and crafting groups were held there. These groups have grown in leaps and bounds within the past year, revealing as well, the artistic skills of a number of our direct support professionals.
Our summer brought a welcome breather from COVID self-isolation. Our pontoon boat was out on Lake Champlain frequently. There were activities such as kayaking on Lincoln Pond, paddle boarding, basketball, hiking, a scavenger hunt, painting at the lake, camping, jewelry-making at the camper, swimming, picnics, yoga and nature meditation, and nature photography.
A generous grant money from the Trustees of the NYSARC Trusts once again afforded us wonderful items for a wide-ranging list of activities. Some of these items included Arts & Crafts materials for painting on canvas, for sketching, for watercolors and acrylics, oil pastels, clay sculpture, resin jewelry-making, beading, pie baking, nature photography, and wood burning. Also purchased were supplies for autumn and winter wreath-making, jewelry box-making, needle felting, terrariums, yoga, meditation, drumming circles, music therapy, spa parties, beading, model airplane building, and leatherworking. A glider swing for one of our homes was purchased as were camping supplies and a big screen for outdoor movie events.
