Therapeutic Recreation

Therapeutic Recreation (TR) offers inclusive and adaptive programs for individuals with disabilities or medical conditions that promote socialization, friendship, and personal growth. Using recreation and leisure activities, these programs support physical, emotional, and social well-being in a fun and engaging way. From creative arts and fitness to social events and life skills, participants enjoy meaningful experiences in a welcoming, supportive environment. TR programs can be easily modified to meet individual needs—ensuring everyone can participate and thrive.
