We are so happy to announce that the Garden on Wellness Program is back!
The Garden of Wellness will consist of weekly activities every Monday beginning June 16th and running until August 18th. Core Members will have the opportunity to engage in accessible gardening and wellness-based activities.
Attached below is a program overview that will provide you with some information about the program and weekly activities. Please take a look and see what activities might interest you!

Here is some important information for the Garden of Wellness Program:
*** Program will run every Monday at the South Zone Community Garden from 1pm-3pm (unless Monday is a stat, then the program will be moved to a different day)
*** We will send out an email 2 weeks before each activity
*** Please make sure to RSVP to the eventsupport@beingastonished.com email one week prior to the event

****Please note at the present time Astonished! staff and volunteers do not provide personal care (washroom needs).
*** Weather conditions are unpredictable. Our general rule of thumb is to postpone an outdoor event if the percentage of the chance of rain/storms is 50% and higher with no indoor space readily available. We will typically make the call no later than 10am on the day of the event.

Please stay tuned for our weekly emails regarding each specific event.

We all hope to see you there!

The Big Sky Summer Adventure Program
2025-06-17 - 2025-08-23 | SK
Your Summer Adventure Awaits You!
This program will consist of a weekly outdoor activity for the Astonished! Core Members that will begin mid-June until mid-August!
Here are some important details for the Big Sky Summer Adventure Program:

We will send out an email 2 weeks before each activity. This email will come from the eventsupport@beingastonished.com email address.
Although we are attaching a brochure outlining all of this summer’s adventures, we will only be taking RSVPs on a weekly basis. This means you need to wait for the poster to come out for each event prior to RSVPing.
Please make sure you RSVP to: eventsupport@beingastonished.com
You must RSVP a minimum of 7 days before each activity unless otherwise directed in the weekly email.
Paratransit times must be given a minimum of 2 days before each activity and please make sure your times are within the time frame indicated in the weekly email. It is not possible for us to staff the event outside of the window given
Weather conditions are unpredictable – our general rule of thumb is to postpone an outdoor event if the percentage of the chance of rain/storms is 40% and higher, with no indoor space readily available. We will typically make the call no later than 2 hours before the event – please note that weather conditions can change suddenly, so a call may be made closer to the start time of the event. In the case of sudden inclement weather, we ask that families/group homes work to secure transportation home for their Core Member at the event. Astonished staff will work with families and group homes to assist in making the arrangements.
This year, we are requiring that when you RSVP for an event that you provide a phone number for the emergency contact is and phone numbers for staff who are on that evening/day. We need this information so that if we are cancelling the event, we can call. This information is also required for if someone is sick, we can also give a call to have that Core Member picked up/transportation available. We will require these details every time you attend an outdoor event
Please note that at present Astonished! staff and volunteers do not provide personal care (washroom needs)
Please note you do not have to sign up for each weekly activity as you can sign up for whatever ones interest you!
