Green Chimneys School is located in both Brewster and Carmel, New York
"Helping young people to maximize their full potential by providing residential, educational, clinical and recreational services that create and nurture connections to the community and the natural world."
Located a few miles from the New York/Connecticut border, Green Chimneys School is designed for students who have been unsuccessful in a traditional educational setting and who require a highly structured and supportive program. Their therapeutic program incorporates academic, behavioral and emotional support into a comprehensive learning environment to help each child achieve new skills and confidence with the goal of returning to their home school district with the best chance of success.
Green Chimneys offers residential therapeutic programs, accredited special education, environmental and recreation programs, animal-assisted therapy for students with social, emotional, learning and behavioral challenges, as well as spectrum disorders. Each of their programs celebrate the dignity and worth of all living things. Their goal for the children, staff, and all who partner with them is to bring knowledge and meaning to their relationships with the world, and with each other.
Green Chimneys' philosophy is based on the belief that if children are given a chance to explore and discover their inherent strengths in a safe and structured nature-based environment, their self-esteem, compassion, coping and social skills will improve. The concept of an enriched treatment setting that brings people together with animals and plants in a mutually beneficial relationship lies at the foundation of the Green Chimneys approach that supports a safe and healing environment in which everyone feels safe, respected, and included.
The monies raised at the March 22nd game will help the Green Chimneys Parent Association give back to the Green Chimneys campuses by providing the opportunity for families to work together on many campus beautification projects that without their help could not be achieved. By working together to improve the areas of need, the Danbury Whalers will be helping Green Chimneys parents to show their appreciation by contributing to the school in ways that would never be possible otherwise.
