What is Therapeutic Recreation?

HRCA Therapeutic Recreation Programs are intended to enhance the quality of life of individuals with special needs. Programs are facilitated by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists and/or qualified staff. We provide a quality and compassionate community-based environment for participants of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to challenge participants and support general independence, choice, self-determination, and self-confidence. We want each participant to enjoy recreation. We work toward social independence in a fun and safe environment, while encouraging a general sense of health, wellness, and improved quality of life.

We have these classes for participants with special needs through the Therapeutic Recreation Program;

• Private/Small Group Instruction
• Splash Swim Group (ages 3-7)
• Tumbling (ages 3-7)
• Hip Hop Dance Class (ages 5-Adult)
• Tae Kwon Do (ages 5 and up)
• Thrilling Thursdays (ages 16 and up)
• Indoor Basketball & Soccer (ages 8 and up)
• Yoga
• Dance Parties
• Tri Sports Camps
• iCan Bike Camp
• Special Olympics Programs (ages 8 and up) including Basketball, Swim, Tennis, Bocce Ball, Bowling, and a Young Athletes Program
