Recreational Therapy At The Okefenokee Swamp

Last weekend, everybody packed up their gear, themselves, and enough food to feed 35 people to head to the Okefenokee Swamp for a camping trip. We take the guys on some kind of trip like this once every few months. Its an important part of their recovery; they learn teamwork and just as important, they learn how to have fun in sobriety. This was our largest group yet-4 staff members, 2 volunteers, several alumni, and the rest, clients.


Friday night was spent cooking out and setting up tents. Saturday, everyone ate breakfast and then headed for a canoe trip through the Okefenokee. The alligators were out, so thankfully, everyone returned intact. That night, we took everyone out to eat and then returned to camp for fellowship. We left Sunday morning after breakfast. All in all, it was a fun, successful trip!
