Adult Recreation provides pre-planned supported recreation opportunities. Each event is supervised by the program’s staff and volunteers.
Each month, members can choose from an array of activities, including, but not limited to: sports, crafts, fine arts, health and wellness, overnight trips, and more. Each event is designed to match a variety of interests and skill sets. Adult Recreation events are a great place to meet friends with common interests, learn new skills and hobbies, and to find engaging and entertaining ways to spend free time.
