Weekly Outings

Vegetable Garden

A Typical Day at OTB

One of the best days of the week is "Outing Day!"  Our Direct Support Professionals (DSP) or lovingly called Group Leaders creatively work to find just the right "Outing" to fit the need of their specific group. Museums, a favorite restaurant, the Fair, the movies, a sporting event, the list goes on.  

Did you know that you can donate specifically to Group Outings via the Ronald H Moore Group Outing Fund? It helps our Participants to be able to be included without spending their own money

Sensory Garden

Vegetable Garden

Vegetable Garden

In honor of one of our former OTB Participants, Tim Cook, this fenced in outdoor space offers peaceful areas full of perennials, bird houses, harmonious waterfalls, and spacious seating within a protected space of reflection just outside the Community Room.  


This beautifully cherished area hosts gazebos for shade and various Studio OTB art as a safeguarded "escape" from some of the inside noise.


We are always needed some extra volunteer help to keep this area beautiful.  Contact our Volunteer Coordinator for more information
