SUMMARY:The Big Sky Summer Adventure Program
DESCRIPTION:Your Summer Adventure Awaits You!\nThis program will consist of a weekly outdoor activity for the Astonished! Core Members that will begin mid-June until mid-August! \nHere are some important details for the Big Sky Summer Adventure Program: \n\n\nWe will send out an email 2 weeks before each activity. This email will come from the eventsupport@beingastonished.com email address.\nAlthough 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.\nPlease make sure you RSVP to: eventsupport@beingastonished.com\nYou must RSVP a minimum of 7 days before each activity unless otherwise directed in the weekly email.\nParatransit 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\nWeather 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.\nThis 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\nPlease note that at present Astonished! staff and volunteers do not provide personal care (washroom needs)\nPlease note you do not have to sign up for each weekly activity as you can sign up for whatever ones interest you!\n\n\nThe Details:\nWhat: The Big Sky Summer Adventure Program\nDate: June 17-August 23\, 2024\nTime: Find these in the brochure\nLocation: Find these in the brochure \nWe are looking forward to having a BLAST this summer and can’t wait to see what these adventures will bring!! \nThank you to the City of Regina for a Social Development Grant – Annual Activity to partially support the work of the Astonished!
