Notes

Adventure Club is an integrated recreation program for youth ages 7-23. This program is designed to enhance social skills, increase independence, and improve self-confidence through participation in activities such as sporting, cultural, and social events three, to four times a month. Many activities are designed to challenge the child's physical and cognitive strengths in a secure environment.

Events of the Adventure Club are organized as a series of levels. For example, a kayaking trip on the Colorado River may be considered a level 3 adventure, while a day of fishing at a local park would be a level 1 adventure. As members receive training and gain confidence, they can move up to higher level activities. The program is designed this way to provide the maximum amount of safety to participants. This system also offers the members the ability to set and achieve personal goals. Friends and siblings of the participants and invited to become members themselves or attend as guests. This enables the participants to develop friendships and independence away from the traditional settings of school and family.
