Watermelon Summer Splatter at the Shooting Range (Ages 19+)

The guns will be reloaded for our return to the shooting range. Participants who joined us for a shooting event two years ago have been eager for our next one.

We will begin with an introduction and instructions from Patricia, the owner of Incendio LLC Shooting Range in Plattsmouth. Yes, we will be using real firearms with ammunition, starting with 22-caliber rifles and progressing to more unique firearm options. To add to the summer fun, this year, we will be shooting at watermelons and steel targets, which will give an adaptive touch, providing a motivating and affirming sound with each hit. We aim to please with our Outlook adventures.

Join us in the middle of a cornfield for lunch, a lesson, and the opportunity to exercise your right to bear arms. Space is limited, and transportation will be provided to and from the range starting at Outlook Nebraska.

Teen Tandem Bike Ride for Ice Cream (Ages 10+) **rescheduled from 7/20**

There’s nothing like an ice cream treat to help you make it through a bike ride in the summer heat. Summer break is going fast, so let’s zoom down the Keystone Trail. Teens, it’s time to partner up and pedal. We’re riding on two seated tandem bikes five miles out and five miles back, with a stop in the middle for lunch and ice cream at Culver’s.

We have both stand-up standard tandems and sit-down recumbent tandems. With our different types of bikes and help from our experienced volunteer bike captains, we can accommodate riders of all sizes and biking experiences. You can also bring your own bike partner if you prefer. Outlook provides bikes, sighted volunteer bike captains, helmets, water, lunch, and ice cream. So get ready to feel the wind in your face, pump those pedals, and work up an appetite with your friends from Outlook Enrichment!

**ACCEPTING VOLUNTEER REGISTRATIONS ONLY** Sailing, Paddleboarding and Kayaking at the Lake (Ages 10+)

THIS EVENT IS FULL FOR BLIND/LOW VISIONPARTICIPANTS – ONLY ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS FOR SIGHTED VOLUNTEERS

This is a brand-new opportunity for Outlook Enrichment’s adventure seekers! The destination is Omaha’s Cunningham Lake for a late afternoon of water sports, including sailing, paddleboarding, and kayaking, led by Camp Outpost Inc. You will rotate through the different sessions in small groups. The sailing portion will be adapted with tactile touches so you can differentiate which ropes to pull. We will be loading up into little sailboats, raising the sails, and propelling through the water by catching the wind. Then dip those oars and paddles in the water while you cruise in a kayak and stand, sit, or kneel on a paddleboard. Sighted guides will join us to help direct traffic on the water or tandem with our younger participants. This event is for both teens and adults. After all this fun in the sun, we will enjoy a group grill out. Space is limited, so save your spot today!

Tandem Bike Club – Coffee and Cocoa Ride

It’s our last ride of the season. There’s no better reason to join in on the experience of bike riding. The weather lately has been perfect for a cruise down the trail with a break in the middle for coffee or cocoa in Aksarben. This ride will start off at Outlook Nebraska and end at Outlook Nebraska. We’re extending our season into October (weather permitting) and invite visually impaired cyclists and volunteer bike captains of all experience levels to join. As always, we’ll have standard and recumbent tandem bikes available and bike partners for anyone who needs one.
