Last week, the 2026 Els for Autism Golf Challenge series continued in Minneapolis with a beautiful day at The Minikahda Club.

Each stop in this series brings together an incredible community of golfers and supporters, all united by a shared purpose. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success.

We also had the pleasure of hosting an Ernie Els Autism Golf Clinic in partnership with First Tee Minnesota, where participants from the Minnesota Independence College and Community enjoyed building skills, confidence, and connection through golf.

To celebrate World Oceans Day, we wanted to share one of our favorite products: Heart of the Ocean 🌊💙

At Sea of Possibilities, the ocean isn’t just an inspiration; it’s part of the creative process.

Participants at Els for Autism often visit the beach to gather shells and other natural materials, bringing them back to the studio to transform them into handmade, ocean-inspired art.

Every piece reflects creativity, connection, and meaningful vocational opportunities for autistic adults.

Hard hats on and excitement high! 🚧💙

Campers from The Learning Academy (TLA) Summer Camp had the opportunity to tour the future Specialized Autism-Friendly Recreation Complex and Aquatics Complex alongside our partners at Hedrick Brothers Construction.

Located at The Els Center of Excellence, The Learning Academy is a public charter school dedicated to empowering students with autism spectrum disorders to reach their fullest potential.

Equipped with hard hats, safety glasses, and high-visibility vests, campers met with the project management and safety teams to learn about the construction process and what it takes to bring a project of this scale to life.

We can't wait to welcome them back when the doors open in spring 2027! 🏊☀️
