Girls from Oregon Home spent time with residents and enjoyed many of the amenities at Moosehaven, including a pool party in our indoor swimming pool, ceramics, bowling, and a movie night. They also enjoyed outings to Get Air Trampoline Park, the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, Kingsley Lake, and Jacksonville Beach.
This has been a special time for both the Mooseheart Girls and the Moosehaven residents. We love bringing together all the people The Moose cares for – both young and young at heart! Visit our website for the full photo gallery. |

Thank you to Dante Camarda, a Boy Scout from Troop 20 in Orange Park, Florida, for choosing Moosehaven for his Eagle Scout project.
As part of his journey towards achieving the highest rank in scouting, he planned and executed a service project to beautify our pavilion with fresh paint and plants to give residents a more inviting central gathering place.
He raised $600 to cover the costs of materials, including paint, plants, gardening tools, and other supplies, and recruited volunteers from his troop to help complete the work. Thank you, Dante, and the Boy Scouts of Troop 20! The residents are already enjoying the beautiful outdoor space. Visit our website for photos of the finished project.

Veterans Visit Jacksonville Naval Museum |
|
Veterans from Moosehaven visited the Jacksonville Naval Museum last week for a tour of the USS Orleck, a gearing class destroyer commissioned in 1945.
During the Korean War, the Orleck was a charter member of the “Train Busters Club” and received 4 battle stars. Later dubbed the ”Grey Ghost of the Vietnam Coast,” it fired 11,000 rounds during Vietnam, netting an astonishing 14 battle stars.
Today the Orleck serves as an interactive warship museum of naval military history and the center piece exhibit of the Jacksonville Naval Museum. Visit our website for the full photo gallery. |
