This summer, Apace is excited to partner with Live Well. Go Fish. to create meaningful outdoor experiences for the people we support. Thanks to generous sponsorships from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska, and Neighborhood LTC Pharmacy, we can host monthly boat days at Lake Wanahoo, giving individuals the opportunity to spend time on the water, fish, relax, and enjoy nature.
Research has shown that spending time outdoors and participating in nature-based programming can improve mental health, reduce stress, encourage social connection, and support overall well-being. Through this partnership, individuals from Apace agencies are invited one Friday each month throughout the summer to enjoy an hour on the lake alongside friends, staff, and volunteers. These outings are more than just fishing trips; they are opportunities to build confidence, create memories, and experience the joy and peace that nature can provide. We are grateful to everyone who is helping make this exciting event possible.
