OCARE - Owsley County Alliance for Recreation & Entertainment, Inc. OCARE stands for Owsley County Alliance for Recreation & Entertainment. We are a dedicated group of volunteers, trying to make a difference in our community.

In the heart of Eastern Kentucky’s stretch of Appalachian mountains lies the beautiful backcountry of Owsley County. Daniel Boone once camped and claimed land in this Appalachian mountain hamlet, which remains mostly populated by descendants of settlers to this day. Familial and community bonds run deep, with a populace that shares a collective historical and cultural legacy uncommon in most parts

of the country. Owsley County is located in the Southern Cumberland forestry region featuring approximately 198 square miles of beautiful wooded hillsides, meadows and streams, and a portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The forests are made up primarily of hardwoods including white oak, red oak and hickory. Wildlife abounds. The South Fork of the Kentucky River flows through the county. Scenic back roads offer peaceful mountain vistas, wildlife viewing, historic barns and bridges, and gently rolling farmland. Owsley County also lies within the Mountain Parkway Trails Corridor, an outdoor-lover's delight. Featuring Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park and Daniel Boone National Forest, this corridor is not only strikingly beautiful but also full of adventure waiting to happen. Owsley County's stunningly scenic countryside is framed by woods and mountains, with meandering creeks carving their way through farmlands, forests, hollows and hills. The beauty of this enchanted area offers a welcomed respite to visitors from the hustle and bustle of cities and suburbs.

Hello! I’m Miss Samantha, Assistant Director here at The Owl’s Treehouse and part of our Infant Classroom team! 💛

I was born and raised right here in Booneville. I’m a proud mother of four and have a triple major in Arts, Science, and Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education.

Working with children is truly my passion. I love being there for them—helping them learn, grow, and discover the world around them. There’s nothing better than seeing their bright smiles and knowing I’ve helped make their day a little happier! 😊

When I’m not in the classroom, I’m spending time with my kids—whether we’re reading 📚, watching documentaries, playing video games 🎮, or cheering them on at their sports events.

I’m so excited for this journey and can’t wait to grow alongside your little ones here at The Owl’s Treehouse! 🦉💛

Thankful for Ms. Hailey!
