Woolly Farms moved to our newly renovated location next to the highway at 8023 KS-4 in Meriden, Kansas. Our weekly workshops are held at this location. Colter Scott, our new director, began his time with Woolly assisting with summer camps in 2022. He returned in June 2023 to begin his new role as Program Director. Colter spent the last eight school years at Auburn-Washburn Unified School District 437 as a Special Education Teacher – Adapted Physical Education, as well as coaching football, women’s basketball, and track and field for many or all of these years.

Our Weekly Program helps to build self-confidence and improve overall well-being by providing participants opportunities to explore their creativity through arts, strengthen communication skills, find placement in community-based jobs, and ultimately lead to greater independence.
