SSSRA visited Timber Pointe Outdoor Center, and we had an amazing trip! Our group found new adventures and strengthened connections with friends.

Activities included archery, hiking with goats, campfires, baking, fishing, boating and much more.

Some of the most memorable parts of the trip were the opportunities to share something about the day at meal times, whether it was an accomplishment, an experience or something kind about a friend.

Thank you to the Timber Pointe staff for welcoming us and providing activities, laughs and delicious food!
