The CAPPED Sun Safe Program is a New Mexico adaption of the Norris Cotton Sun Safe Program. Since our program was piloted in 2003, we have reached more than 34,000 children in grades K-3 with our annual, interactive sun safe programs. Children love to participate in this interactive program and learned the benefits of sunshine. They also learn that they should avoid sun exposure to their skin during the hottest part of the day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m by seeking shade, wearing appropriate clothing (hat, sunglasses, shirt with sleeves, long shorts or pants and shoes that protect their feet) and scheduling outdoor activities early - before 10 a.m. or late - after 4 p.m. This program is endorsed throughout the Otero County Schools by the Superintendent, Principals, Teachers, Teachers Aides, Nurses, Cooks, Janitors and especially the Children it was designed to educate.
(NOTE: This CAPPED Sun Safe Program was paused in 2016 when funding could not be raised. Goal: Reinstate Program.)

The 75 ft across Children's Labyrinth at Trinity Turtle Healing Labyrinth Park is open 24 hours daily 7 days a week. Solar lights make it safe to walk at night. Early morning sunrises and late evening sunsets are delightful times to walk.
This is a built environment for stress reduction. Research has shown that the simple act of walking a labyrinth reduces stress by 80%.
Television commercials airing daily educate the community on TTHLP to bring people out to walk. Information pedestals provide information for visitors to learn about stress reduction and share with social circles.
Many locals have made a walk part of their daily wellness routine. Families have found a labyrinth walk is a healthy age appropriate activity for every family member! It is provided as a stress reduction program and service by CAPPED.
The 75 ft labyrinth is the head of Trinity Turtle. The body and tail labyrinths are currently under construction. When finished, this will be the largest in USA!

CAPPED has always struggled to fund needed services. "Trinity Turtle Village" is CAPPED’s 100 year sustainability plan.
The first eight Acres of this planned community will include Trinity Turtle Healing Labyrinth Park, the largest permanent labyrinth in the United States. The planned new CAPPED Building 125 ft x 125 ft will house all CAPPED operations and Integrative Wellness Services.
The middle ten acres will be used as rental spaces for fully self-contained RV’s.
The final 6 acres will be used for a water treatment system which will also water native plants to provide further sustainability.
Our success depends upon raising approximately $2.6 M to create the infrastructure. Once it is in place, money received from property rentals, CCIW program services, Seminars, Weekend Workshops and native plant sales, will cover operation and maintenance expenses.
Once proven in real time, the Trinity Turtle Village can be replicated in other communities across the United States.
