Green Chimneys residents maintain a structured yet diverse schedule of activities outside of their school and treatment program. Group dining, after-school clubs, trips, special events, charity projects, and even campus jobs are part of their experience living on campus.
A school that partners children with animals for educational and therapeutic activities is an ideal home for Nutmeg, a Nubian goat donated by a family who kept her as a therapy animal for a child with special needs. Nutmeg arrived at Green Chimneys as an energetic one-year-old. Although she had lived solely with people, she immediately adapted to her new goat peers at the farm. At the same time, she presents a challenge to students: goats possess a strong will so taking a walk is not always a simple task.
