Planning
for the Future
Therapeutic gardens, fishing lessons and boating
excursions, a day camp for school-age children
with and without disabilities—these are just a
few of the ideas for new programming at Opportunity
Enterprises’ newest location, Lakeside. Located
along the shores of Lake Eliza, Lakeside promises
to house Opportunity Enterprises’ most innovative
programming yet. The property includes a 13,000
square foot facility and 98 acres of lake frontage,
rolling hills, and natural meadowland.
Lakeside is the new home to the Renewed Horizons
Adult Day Center for older clientele and Enriching
Possibilities, previously known as the Prevocational
program, for individuals with moderate disabilities.
A full compliment of enrichment programs and
transportation are provided for clients in
these programs.
“Lakeside
adds more capacity for our day programs, not
only for those programs that have moved
out to the new property, but also to those at
our
main
facility,”
explains Jenn Fanner, Enrichment Services Director.
“And at Lakeside, opportunities exist for gardening,
fishing, walking and exercise, bird watching,
and outdoor recreation; the possibilities are
endless.”
“We are
so excited about being at Lakeside Opportunities,”
agrees Rebecca Cheky, Manager of Renewed Horizons,
one
of
the programs relocating toLakeside. “This
move will allow for more creativity in daily
curriculum and more opportunities for smaller
group activities, tailored to each individual’s
abilities and interests. Lakeside will only
enhance what we already do: striving to provide
each person we serve with the most meaningful
day possible.”
