Tandem Bike Club – Season Opener (18+)

It’s time for the first tandem bike ride of 2026! The first ride will start off at Outlook for a season opener on the Keystone Trail. While this is our oldest route, we’ll be introducing some brand-new bikes! This is a 10-mile ride at your own pace, making it perfect for avid bikers and first timers alike. Outlook provides bikes, helmets, and volunteer bike partners/captains, or you are welcome to bring your own bike or biking partner. We have both standard and recumbent bikes available. A standard tandem is designed like a typical upright bike, but it has 2 seats. A recumbent has 2 seats, like a chair, and 3 wheels. This is a great style of bike for new bikers or bikers with balance or mobility challenges.

We’re saving a seat for you! Get signed up today.

Archery, Hiking, and Fishing (Ages 12+)

If you’ve been hunting for some outdoor adventure, look no further. We’ve got a morning of archery, hiking, and fishing planned for outdoor enthusiasts. Aim and launch your bow and arrow with tips on techniques from a certified archer. Next, journey through the woods on a one-mile hike headed for Lake Cunningham. Then we’ll lounge out by the lake, cast our lines, and see if the fish are biting. What a way to jump-start summer and test your survival skills.

This event is for both teens and adults and can be adapted to any skill level. If you have mobility challenges, a ride can be arranged from the archery area to the lake for fishing.

Lake Cunningham is not accessible via MOBY or public transportation. If you rely on public transportation, arrangements will be made to get out to Lake Cunningham if needed.

Flower Power – Color Outside the Lines Art Workshop

Sometimes art is messy, so get ready to get your hands dirty, literally. Consider your pot of dirt the blank canvas for your next art project. Choose from a variety of this season’s annual flowers for the sun or shade. Arrange them to your liking and pack your pot with dirt. What a great way to welcome the spring season and add some beautiful blossoms to a porch, patio, or deck near you. April showers bring May flowers, so we are right on time with this next workshop. This will brighten up your space or make a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift.

Audiobook Club – Heartwood

We’re turning the page for book club, and we’re onto our second book!

Featured Book for June
Heartwood
by Amity Gaige
BARD # DB128729

In the heart of the Maine woods, an Appalachian Trail hiker goes missing. She is 42-year-old Valerie Gillis, who has vanished 200 miles from her destination. Alone in the wilderness, Valerie pours her heart into fractured, poetic letters to her mother as she battles the elements and struggles to keep hoping. At the heart of the investigation is Beverly, the determined Main State Warden tasked with finding Valerie on the ground. Meanwhile, Lena, a 76-year-old birdwatcher in a Connecticut retirement community, becomes an unexpected armchair detective. Rolling between these compelling narratives, a puzzle emerges, intensifying the frantic search, as Valerie’s disappearance may not be accidental. The mystery inspires larger questions about the many ways we get lost and how we are found.

Our audiobook club will feature books available on BARD. Books will be chosen by and discussions led by different book club members. Meetings will take place at various coffee shops in the Omaha metro area accessible by public transportation. Exact locations will be shared with registered participants. Meetings will take place every other month on a Saturday. Attending the meeting is free, but coffee is not included.

Family Beep Baseball (All Ages)

Batter up! Calling all our blind, low vision, and sighted friends and family up to the plate. It’s time for our annual beep baseball clinic and game. All athletes will cycle through batting practice with tees and live pitching, fielding balls, and running bases. It might sound like just a regular baseball clinic, but it’s not. This version is adapted for players with vision loss, including beeping baseballs and beeping bases. Friends and family are welcome to join, wearing sleep shades to level the playing field. The first half of the clinic focuses on skill-building, and the second half is an all-out beeping kickball game, followed by pizza for all! This event is open to individuals of all ages with vision loss, as well as their sighted friends and family. It is held at an indoor complex, so we’ll play ball, rain or shine.

Wildlife Encounters

Listening to shows about animals or hearing descriptions of them while at the zoo can get your imagination running wild! Outlook is bringing the zoo to you through our friends at Wildlife Encounters. From scales to feathers and fur, you’ll get a chance to feel it all. You can come face to face or be hands on and hold creatures you’re curious about. Wildlife Encounters will bring their most interactive animal ambassadors for a meet and greet you’ll never forget. We welcome youth and adults, along with their friends and family, to have fun and explore nature in a new, up close and personal way.
