Programs: 100 elk, 25 people: rvrn has worked closely with the staff at the a/u ranches' 100 elk outdoor center in buena vista co which provides an outdoor education program tailored to the special needs of our constituents. This unique program welcomes families and thier loved ones with special needs! It provides experiential activities focused on the following goals: all participants leave their experience with a heightened awareness of those around them; a deepened sense of self worth; new appreciation of teamwork; interaction with a growing community network.
