Our members recently enjoyed a spooktacular day at the NEW Zoo & Adventure Park in Suamico, Wisconsin, where they attended the annual Boo at the Zoo event! The fall air was crisp, the leaves were vibrant, and excitement filled the atmosphere as our group explored the zoo, met all kinds of animals, and took part in the festive Halloween-themed activities. From seeing the giraffes up close to collecting sweet treats along the Boo trail, laughter could be heard in every corner.

This special outing was made possible through a generous grant from the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region. Their support allowed our members to enjoy a safe, inclusive, and enriching community experience that many might not otherwise have the chance to share. It was more than just a day at the zoo — it was a day filled with connection, joy, and unforgettable memories.

At Community Alternatives, we believe that every individual deserves to be part of their community, to explore new experiences, and to celebrate the season together. Outings like Boo at the Zoo encourage social interaction, independence, and confidence while allowing our members to enjoy being themselves in a supportive environment.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region for making this possible and to the staff at the NEW Zoo for their warmth and hospitality. Partnerships like these remind us just how powerful community can be when we come together to make a difference.

🧡 Here’s to more adventures, more smiles, and more memories ahead!
