- Weekly riding lessons

Weekly our residents visit The Tally-Ho Riding Academy for English riding lessons.  It is located about 10 miles from our campus.  Our riding instructor, Ms. BeBe Brown is a native of London, England.  She teaches the girls the standards for the United States Pony Clubs (USPC) standards for riding.  They are tested on their knowledge and earn credits and privileges with USPC.  As our residents gain skills and competency, they are allowed to participate at local and regional competitions. In addition to riding lessons, the residents learn important skills in stabling, grooming, and caring for their horses.  They also help Mrs. Brown keep up with care for the many animals on her farm. The weekly lessons provide residents with a skill building activity that is task oriented.  Through interaction with the horses, residents gain skills in non-verbal communication, assertiveness, creative thinking, problem solving skills, leadership, taking responsibility, teamwork, relationships, and confidence. The lessons are relaxing, yet challenging, and provide an opportunity to interact with the horses along with many other farm animals the girls assist in the care of.

- Outings

As much as possible, we incorporate outings in our activities.  We go as a group on trips to the mall, to Christian concerts, to the Bookstore or to the coffee shop.  It depends on what the group wants, and what their interests are.  On occasion we go out to eat at a nice restaurant.  We catch an occasional football game with the ULL Ragin' Cajun's or a pro-am Hockey game with the local Ice Gators.  We are sure to mix it up from time to time.  All of our activities are supervised by our home staff.

- Athletics & Team Building

We create an environment of structure, but we also know the importance of fun.  Our residents have a daily group building game time at the home.  Group activities may include outdoor sports, group games, or sometimes video games.  In addition to the structured group activity time, the schedule allows for "down-time" and personal enrichment time as well.
