In last Monday's art class, we used a variety of materials to create abstract self portraits. You can tell
in the pictures how creative everyone is. At the end of the class, everyone left with their own masterpiece. 

A big thanks to the staff at the Art Students League of Denver and all the volunteers who made this class possible.

Participants: Craig Hospital, Ft. Carson WTB

The group we had last Saturday are ready to become Swashbucklers. We started with the fundamentals and then we began with some fencing drills. Our instructors helped us get suited up, including a foil.
We paired up and began fencing, with some participants keeping score and others keeping it casual.

Either way, everyone had a fun time learning a new sport. It was a wonderful day and a big thanks to our instructors and the Denver Fencing Center

​
We had a large group of kids and adults all excited to learn archery from the expert staff at RMS Gear. We used recurve, crossbows and compound bows. Our lesson began with the range rules and safety instruction. Next, we were up to the shooting line and given bows. The arrows flew and the fun began.

After a few hours of range time, we took a break and had some lunch. It's been a great day and a big thanks to all staff at RMS Specialty Gear, and the volunteers for making this outing possible.

Hosted By: River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP 
Participants: Operation TBI Freedom

Over the first weekend in December, River Deep Foundation and SCI HOP hosted an outstanding waterfowl hunt over decoys in Kersey, Colorado, for three Veteran’s and one care giver. After a windy night at the Cobblestone Inn, we were met by our guide/host Collin Mulligan at 5:15AM, for the trip to the river.

We all assisted in placing the decoys and getting set up. The temperature was about 0, but the birds were coming in. All the hunters got there limit of ducks, with a bonus of three Canadian Geese harvested, as well.
All the hunters and guides had an amazing experience.
