DSAW-Chippewa Valley experienced a wonderful day at Trinity Equestrian Center!! There is so much to do there! We got to see how amazing horses are and we made new friends in the process. Trinity goes above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoys themselves!
DSAW-Fox Cities
July was a month to remember for DSAW Fox Cities!
We kicked things off with an amazing day on the water, thanks to the Fox Valley Sailing School, who hosted a one-of-a-kind sailing experience for our DSAW families. From learning the ropes to feeling the breeze on Lake Winnebago, the day was filled with sunshine, smiles, and unforgettable moments together.
This incredible opportunity was made possible by a generous grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, we’re so grateful for their support in helping us provide inclusive adventures like this!
Not everything went according to plan this month, though, our summer pool party was rained out and had to be rescheduled for August.
Thank you to everyone who joined us in July.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the fun!
