Intellectual Disabilities Program

Mission Statement:  The Drop-In Supervised Intellectual Disabilities Program is dedicated to providing an enriching and enjoyable environment for participants ages 15 and older.  This program will give the participants the opportunity to meet new friends, gain confidence and make lasting memories throughout the summer.  We will continue to meet the participant’s needs of an educational, yet fun summer program.  The program runs for eight weeks from mid-June through August. Activities are held Monday-Thursday from 7:00-9:00 p.m. Participants can sign up at any point throughout the program.  Registration forms are available on-site, at the Parks and Recreation Office and below.

 

The Intellectual Disabilities Program schedule for 2010 will be posted here when it is complete along with a registration form. We enjoyed all who participated in 2009 and look forward to planning an exciting calendar of events for this summer.
