Vivien Burke's Eagle Scout Project
Scouts BSA member Viven Burke of Troop 185G in Clarkston chose to do her Eagle Scout Project here at O.A.T.S. Vivien chose to support O.A.T.S. with her Eagle Scout Project because her cousin, Braden, was a rider here at O.A.T.S. and greatly benefited from our program. Vivien also volunteered with O.A.T.S. on occasion so she knew how impactful and necessary our services are. Vivien chose to remodel the observation room with the challenge of making the space warm and inviting. Vivien did not disappoint. Our observation room is now a functional space where parents can observe their riders in comfort while siblings entertain themselves with numerous fidget toys, video games, and other stimulating gadgets. Riders will be able to utilize the space before and after class and may find the weighted blanket to be comforting. Volunteers will find the space to be relaxing after working hard caring for our riders and their horses.
Check out the pictures and be sure to stop by the barn to enjoy the magic taking place at O.A.T.S.
