Five developmentally disabled boys are learning the cowboy way in an alternative program - known as Dreampower - that exposes them to nature and horses instead of having them sit at a desk in a classroom. A few weeks ago, they rode horses into Henry Coe Park and camped for the weekend. They spent their days at a lake, soaking up the sun and learning to fish.
Organizers say the program offers alternative education to non-traditional students, teaching them citizenship as well as self-confidence and self-reliance.
In this video, we go with them on their trip into Coe park and talk to organizers and participants about the program.
