When it comes to brain development scientific studies have proven that playing makes a connection between neural pathways. Unfortunately, a lot of individuals come from childhoods where they didn’t get a chance to play. That’s why at Bodhi Casa’s Extended Care it a priority for our newly sober men to disconnect from their daily stressors in order to have a good time. Lake Nacimiento was the perfect environment for the them to do just that. While staying there the men engaged in boating, wake boarding, canoeing, fishing and camping and some of them it was their very first time.

What was really special about this trip, was the entire outdoor adventure was facilitated by an alumni who had such a profound experience at Bodhi Casa, he wanted the opportunity to give back by sharing his passion with other men.
