Connecting with Our Marine Life Community

Schurig Center’s Therapeutic Program participants recently visited the Marine Mammal Center, a nonprofit veterinary research and educational center located in Sausalito. Since 1975, the Marine Mammal Center has helped promote ocean conservation through marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation.

Planned at the suggestion of our Therapeutic Program participants, our outing to the Marine Mammal Center was both educational and FUN! In addition to our special “V.I.P. Behind-The-Scenes” tour where we actually got to meet some of the Center’s current patients, participants had fun socializing over lunch with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean while taking lots of great photos, and practicing their money handling skills at the gift shop.

Celebrating Summer at Camp Schurig

Welcome to “Camp Schurig”!

Our Therapeutic Program participants recently enjoyed a day of traditional, FUN summer camp activities at “Camp Schurig!”

Participants started the day by following the trail of “bear paw prints” leading them to our “Base Camp” where the magic began!

Everyone (including staff) had to choose a unique “camp name” for the day. Campers enjoyed lunch on the patio followed by an action-packed day filled with awesome back-country games and activities, such as making tie-dye t-shirts, “fishing for prizes,” a wet and wild water balloon toss, and a “campfire” sing-a-long and stories by flashlight! And, of course, campers feasted on everyone’s favorite campsite treat…s’mores!

Planned at the suggestion of our Therapeutic Program participants, our Summer Camp Day was a wonderful way for us to socialize as a group and enjoy the fresh air and great outdoors here in beautiful Larkspur!

Through the experience of “Camp Schurig,” participants were able to reap the benefits of camping by refreshing and renewing their bodies, minds and spirits outdoors. The day also provided the opportunity for participants to practice interpersonal communication, active listening and social skills while promoting creativity and self-expression.

A great day was had by all!

Big, big thanks to all of our awesome volunteers
who helped made this special day happen!

A Taste of Italy

August 22, 2016

The tomato plants in Schurig Center’s therapeutic garden are producing a bounty of fruit this year! Today the participants in our therapeutic program harvested the basil and tomatoes from the garden and then prepared tomato mozzarella tarts and tomato basil bruschetta. Bellisimo!

Once a month, Schurig Center participants don their chef hats and embark into a world filled with measuring, stirring, baking, cooking and tasting. In Life Skills Cooking Class, participants come together to learn and grow through the art of preparing delicious food while also rebuilding and strengthening cognitive and motor skills.
