Every effort is made to meet the needs of our participants by offering a diverse selection of both community and facility based activities.

Programs are varied and include dinners, dances, swimming, bingo, arts/crafts, special events and much more. Our Fun and Friendship Bowling League meets on Tuesday and Friday evenings. There is a summer camp offered to children beginning in July. STUDENT/FACULTY/STAFF VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES: Volunteers are welcomed in all services, especially recreational opportunities.
