SKYANCHOR
was established in 1970 in
Washington DC as an answer to the lack of educational
and recreational programs for youth and seniors. Its legacy
included day and residential camps; senior citizen day
care; “Wee School”, a weekday early childhood
education program and latchkey programs for after school
tutoring during this period.
Relocating
to Surry County, Virginia in 1985,
SKYANCHOR is situated on a picturesque 45 acre farm
which includes a lake for fishing and
is readily accessible to communities in both Central
Virginia and Hampton Roads and only minutes away from
Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg, the first permanent
English settlements in our country.

SKYANCHOR’s
disAbility Awareness program was implemented
in 2002 to enrich the lives of children, youth and adults,
both able and disabled by incorporating an awareness
challenge course, hiking trail and outdoor camping,
all especially created to stimulate and encourage a
growing sensitivity while learning techniques and strategies
to use when interacting with persons living with disabilities.
SKYANCHOR
is firmly committed to the ideal of providing a multitude
of experiences to help foster understanding and acceptance
while enhancing self-esteem, spiritual growth and responsibility
for all individuals, both able and disabled. |
