Summer is not over yet! We’re tying our tubes together and traveling down the Elkhorn River. With volunteer tour guides to help navigate the route and the river setting the pace, you’ll spend the day with a smile on your face. Life jackets will also be available, along with coolers to keep your refreshments cold. This is not something you can do in Omaha, but we’re conveniently providing transportation from Outlook Nebraska to Tubing and Adventures and back. We must adhere to our morning departure time, but our return time may vary slightly depending on the river conditions for that day. So pack your sunscreen, something to snack on, something to sip on, and let’s send off the summer season under the sun!
Rides will be provided from Outlook Nebraska to Tubing and Adventures and back after the float is over for participants with vision. Friends and/or family members are welcome to join, but must provide their own ride and cover the cost of their tube rental ($30). Please contact Megan for guest registration details at 402-350-4121 or mmackie@outlooken.org
Blind and Baggin’ Adaptive Cornhole Tournament (Ages 21+)
Get ready for our first cornhole tournament for blind and low vision players! You’ll have the choice of using a bag board with a beeper or a bag board that lights up, allowing for adaptation for players with low vision or no vision. We’ll also have an adaptive sports specialist on hand for coaching, if needed. Win cash prizes for each category. Sighted friends and family are welcome to join, but they will have to wear sleep shades. This event is for individuals 21 years of age or older. There is a $10 buy-in at the door on the day of the event for each attendee. There’ll be plenty of food, drinks, and good vibes.
Teen Ice Cream Ride
What is better than a bike ride in the summer? A bike ride with a stop for ice cream! We’ll be pedaling down the Keystone Trail on tandem bikes for a 10-mile ride.

Parents are welcome to partner up and pedal, or we can find a volunteer to captain the front seat. Outlook will provide bikes, helmets, water, and lunch. You just need to provide the pedaling power!
