ski trip:
Jan. 27, 2024: SOLO students, immediate family members and volunteers may sign up for our annual trip to Bittersweet Ski Resort, leaving LOGAN Center at 7 a.m. and returning 5 p.m. Luxury bus transpo and lift pass included. $40 per person, plus $25 for ski or board rental. Make reservations with Bob Sturtevant at bsturtevant2122@gmail.com. (Note: This date is accurate, though it’s different than our calendar flyer.)
SOLO provides outdoor winter educational and recreational opportunities for persons with disabilities from St. Joseph County, Ind., and nearby counties in an effort to:
Encourage independence and increase participation in family and community leisure opportunities
Educate the community regarding the capabilities of and opportunities for persons with disabilities
Skiing offers a freedom of movement that most persons with disabilities have never experienced. At the same time, it creates an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and unsurpassed confidence. A person who has difficulty walking will find themselves gliding smoothly down the hill with a newfound poise and agility.
We welcome both adults and children at least 8 years of age to join us. SOLO is open to students with physical, visual, auditory, or significant mental impairments.
