The Town's Therapeutic Recreation program is designed to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities through participation in recreational activities. Our goal is to provide diverse leisure opportunities that focus on promoting skill development and growth related to self-esteem, appropriate socialization, independence and overall wellness.
Program offerings focus on opportunities related to athletics and movement, aquatics, camps, community outings, cultural arts, outdoor recreation, and social activities for individuals of various ability levels and age ranges.
Before participating in a Therapeutic Recreation program, please complete an annual Participant Information Form (PDF). This form gives staff information to provide the best care and high-quality programming for all involved. It is also crucial to read and be aware of current program policies and procedures.
Volunteers are essential members of the Therapeutic Recreation team! If you are interested in volunteering with the Therapeutic Recreation program or learning more about current or future offerings, please reach out to Therapeutic Recreation team via email.
