Designed with the unique needs of the children and youth we serve across our multidisciplinary programs in mind, Cl Outdoors creates meaningful opportunities for skill-building, connection, and confidence in everyday life.

We had a wonderful time on Saturday at the Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community, enjoying beautiful weather while connecting with so many people.

It was a meaningful opportunity to raise awareness about our mission and the resources we provide to . support children, youth, and families. We're incredibly grateful for the donations received, which help fund uncompensated care, ensuring every child receives the same high level of care, regardless of their family's ability to pay.

Thank you to everyone who walked, donated, and supported us along the way!
