North American Riding for the Handicapped Association: This is the premier site for information on equine-assisted activities. NARHA is a national non-profit organization that promotes the benefit of the horse for individuals with physical, emotional and learning disabilities. For individuals with disabilities, equine-assisted activities have been shown to improve muscle tone, balance, posture, coordination, motor development as well as emotional well-being. And it's fun!

Botanical Trek: Natural History of the Patagonia Cordillera will take us on an epic journey into the remote regions of Patagonia. From the Argentine plateaus we will head up into the Andes, traverse the continental spine, and drop down into the vast forests of southern Chile, studying the flora and fauna along our transect. The associated courses will focus on the biotic communities of Patagonia, and will also consider the pre-historical context and biotic factors driving the observed species assemblages. Although we will study both plants and animals, this program will emphasize the vegetation of this region.
