Deepen your connection to nature through the fun and meaningful practice of nature journaling! Nature journaling rests at the intersection of science and art, using observation, curiosity, and creative thinking to spark wonder and change the way we look at the natural world. Join one of our CCE nature educators to learn the basics of starting a nature journal, look closely at native plants, and participate in easy and fun guided sketching activities. While nature journaling is a wonderful skill to cultivate for all ages, this program is primarily targeted toward adults.
Paper and writing utensils will be provided; however, you are also welcome to bring your own journal or sketchpad.

Lace up those sneakers (and leashes!) Join us for Bampa’s House’s 9th Annual 5K Run/Walk on September 6th at beautiful Craig Park in Painted Post! Whether you're a seasoned runner, a leisurely walker, or a four-legged friend, there's a spot for everyone at this fun-filled event for a cause that truly matters — providing comfort care in our community. All ages welcome! Medals for top finishers in each age group. Special dog category — prizes for our paw-some participants! Register now and let’s walk (or run) for comfort, care, and community!
Bampa’s House (Corning Comfort Care, Inc.), a nonprofit organization that serves the Steuben, Chemung, and Schuyler County area. A comfort care home is a beautiful, comfortable setting where individuals can reside if they have six months or less to live. It provides an alternative for those who do not have access to quality care at home and do not wish to go to a nursing home. Our goal at Bampa’s House is to provide a home-like environment for loved ones to receive hospice care in a comfortable, safe, and peaceful atmosphere. There is no financial cost to the residents or their families for the care provided at Bampa’s House, and we do not receive reimbursement from insurance or government healthcare programs. However, the average daily cost to care for each resident is approximately $360, making community support essential to sustaining our mission. Since opening our doors in September 2020, we have had the privilege of caring for more than 125 residents and supporting their families and friends. With compassion at the heart of everything we do, our trained, community-based volunteer caregivers provide comfort and dignity in a warm, peaceful, and home-like environment.
