An opportunity for children with Autism and an adult caretaker to experience the wonders of Costa Rica and our 200 acre farm.
We have horses, cows, goats, chickens, dogs and a cat. Our farm and the magnificence of Costa Rica's varied and
beautiful habitat will furnish healing for the special sensory-processing challenges children on the Spectrum face. Participants who are
willing and able will have the option to learn how to horse-whisper to gentle young horses, approach and sooth a horse
to prepare for riding, and experience the joy and responsibility of caring for a particular animal. Through a program oriented
to each individual and his/her adult caretaker, we will provide opportunities to relax and re-create, experience and interact with
the farm animals and take part in art, music and game activities.
