Karyn Juntunen has taken off with the program at MTU. Great Job! She partnered with Copper Country Mental Health and in Karyn's words "the program has gone wild!"
There are 10 skiers and 28 snowshoers and counting!!!!!!!! 10 coaches plus the staff from Copper Country Mental Health volunteering with the snowshoeing. The clients come with the staff -solved the transportation problem- and the staff helps! Great work everyone! Partnerships are the key to success.
One of the volunteers from MTU recruited 4 more friends and one of them works for the Outdoor adventure group at Tech (MTU) so the MTU adaptive ski program uses their equipment - ALL for FREE! THANK YOU MTU!!!
This quote from Karyn is great..."It's wild! I just stay at the barn and supervise the awesome fun the participants are having. They look forward to it every week. I had to make the snowshoe trail longer for variety. Also I had to limit them coming only one time a week because of our numbers. Can you believe it?!"
Keep up the great work, Houghton! You all ROCK! Pictures will come soon. :)
