Philosophy on Community
Our philosophy on Community is that all people are unique and must have a stimulating environment where they can grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is our desire to create a safe environment where members are invited to share their ideas and allowed to explore under supervision. We believe the most significant experiences occur in situations that are both meaningful and realistic.
