Life Adventure Center and Lexington Leadership Foundation Invite Foster Families to Build Connection Through Adventure
Free June 14 event is designed to strengthen families, foster resilience, and create lasting support networks
Versailles, Kentucky (June 4, 2026) – Foster families often spend their days caring for others. On June 14, Life Adventure Center and Lexington Leadership Foundation will create a space where those families can reconnect, recharge, and be cared for themselves.
As part of the ongoing Fostering Unity Through Adventure series, foster and kinship care families are invited to participate in a free afternoon of connection, community, and outdoor adventure from 3:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Life Adventure Center's 575-acre campus in Versailles. The event is open to families with children ages 6 and older and includes dinner at no cost.
Participants will have the opportunity to experience a guided labyrinth walk and choose between Life Adventure Center's signature Giant Swing or a nature connection experience, all designed to promote resilience, confidence, and meaningful family interaction. The event also provides opportunities for foster families to connect with one another and build networks of support.
"Foster and kinship families carry an incredible responsibility, often navigating challenges that most people never see," said Julie Breitigan, Executive Director of Life Adventure Center. "This program is about creating space for families to laugh together, encourage one another, and experience the healing power of connection. We want every participant to leave feeling supported, valued, and reminded that they are not alone."
The event is part of a year-round partnership between Life Adventure Center and Lexington Leadership Foundation focused on strengthening foster families through shared experiences, relationship building, and community engagement. Additional gatherings are planned throughout the year.
"One of the greatest needs among foster families is community," said Reuben Watson, Director of Unity in Action at Lexington Leadership Foundation. "When families have opportunities to connect with others who understand their journey, it creates a powerful support system. Through this partnership, we're helping families build relationships, strengthen resilience, and discover that they are part of a larger community that cares deeply about their success."
Life Adventure Center's mission is to use outdoor adventure to transform lives affected by trauma and build more resilient people for a better world. Through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and community organizations, the center serves thousands of individuals annually through trauma-informed, adventure-based programming.
The June 14 event is free, but advance registration is encouraged. Families interested in participating can learn more and register at LifeAdventureCenter.org or by calling 859-873-3271.
