Additional Services
We are in the process of expanding River’s Bend Trout–Sebec (RBT-S) to further enrich the experience for our participants and guests. New developments will include tent platforms, small cabins, and supporting facilities—each thoughtfully designed to enhance our on-site programs and offer comfortable, nature-immersed accommodations that will also be available for rental.
In addition to our therapeutic recreation programs, RBT-S will soon introduce hands-on farming and educational initiatives focused on self-sufficiency, sustainability, and deeper connections with the natural world. These experiences are designed to cultivate wellness, strengthen community ties, and celebrate the courage, dedication, and service of those we support.
Stay tuned for updates on these exciting additions by following us on social media and visiting our website for announcements.
Together, we continue to grow—rooted in purpose, guided by nature, and inspired by service.
