Opportunities Abound at Eagle Ranch’s Annual Open House Oct. 20
Chestnut Mountain, GA (PRWEB) October 14, 2013 -- A Christian home for girls and boys in crisis, is hosting its annual Open House from 2-5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20.
The Ranch staff will provide guests with campus maps upon arrival, and visitors may leisurely explore the grounds on foot or in their own vehicles. Refreshments will be served. It is free, and everyone is welcome.
“This year we are excited to feature a new equine therapy barn and covered riding ring that are under construction,” said Eddie Staub, Eagle Ranch Founder and Executive Director. “These new facilities will enable the children to work with the horses during inclement weather. The barn will have more space and provide even more educational opportunities.”
Since opening its doors in 1985, Eagle Ranch has helped more than 1,000 children work through difficulties in all aspects of their lives – from family and social relationships to academic performance and more.
Boys’ and girls’ homes will be open for tours, conducted by Ranch staff and children. Other facilities, including the school, administration and counseling center, chapel, lodge and more will also be open to attendees.
