New Program for Children with Special Needs

TP1Thera-Pets, Inc. will begin the Jonathon’s Journey program for children with special needs on Sunday, April 15th from 2:30 to 4:00 p.m. The group will meet every Sunday for nine weeks, excluding Memorial Day Weekend, at the Butternut Ridge Farm, 648 Calkins Road, Peru.

Jonathon’s Journey is a newly structured program that still gives the children free time to explore the farm. Activities include learning to care for the animals, walking donkeys, games, crafts, gardening, show & tell, scavenger hunts, and various chores. There are also plans to visit Kickin Up Dust Farm and the Babbie Rural and Farm Learning Museum.josh and donkeys

The program is free, however Thera-Pets, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, does ask for a commitment to attend. 
The registration deadline is April 6th. New volunteers are welcome to assist with the program.
