2022 SUMMER HARMONY PROGRAM – What you need to know
This year we are moving further along the path of developing evidence-based programs for our community, to facilitate healing and growth, through the grace and power of Jesus Christ. Members of our leadership team, who will soon be Certified Horsework Facilitators, are mapping out our Harmony Program for this summer. While these sessions will look familiar to those who have participated over the years, it will look very different from our 2021 Harmony Project summer program. We want you to be aware of these changes and the reasons for them as you consider whether or not to sign your child(ren) up. From 2013 – 2019, we provided 90-minute sessions for children 8-18. In 2021, thanks to a grant from the Montgomery County Community Foundation, as part of our Harmony Project we experimented with 3-hour sessions to add non-equine activities such as music & rhythm. While the 2021 summer program was a complete success, after much consideration our leadership team has decided to focus this year evidence-based equine-assisted learning experiences, which Achaius Ranch is in a unique position to offer. Therefore we want to provide you with some important details about what you can expect from our Harmony Program this summer:
