Recreation and Leisure

I found some very interesting artifacts for this section of my Blog. I wanted to provide several different types of artifacts that could be used for finding out how to access some recreation and leisure activities and others that can be specifically used for the activity themselves. I thought that it was very exciting to see the different options that are available on the web as well as in other areas of the community for leisure and recreation. I hope you enjoy.

The first artifact that I found is for art lovers. It is called SEE, HEAR, IMAGINE. This site takes you through the different pieces of an artist and provides a verbal description of the six painting that are presented so that the paintings are available for individuals with different needs. It is specifically designed to help individual with visual impairments enjoy the paintings of Hugo Simberg. Take a look and listen by clicking on the link below.

The second artifact is website called Wilderness Inquiry. It is a group that tries to make accessing the out doors available to everyone. I thought that this site would give parents and their children the opportunity to find activities that are available to them to make their dream vacations available to them. I thought that it was very exciting to find a group that made wilderness activities available to all. To find out more about the activities at Wilderness Inquiry click on the link below.

Finally I would like you to look at the Houston Texans Sports Camp. This is a camp for kids form the age of 6 to the age of 18. It is provided free of charge to kids with disabilities and is specifically designed for children with physical or developmental disabilities. It provides the kids with a first hand chance to participate in football. Take a look it sound like an awesome day.
