Recreation therapy is about making life accessible and fun. This is our biggest program area ... and the one with the biggest impact.

We get children with physical disabilities doing basketball, doing music, doing rock climbing - activities able-bodied kids take for granted.

The physical benefits of increased participation are clear: increased fitness and improved general health, decreased incidence of obesity and depression. When kids are enabled to pursue a full and well-rounded childhood, we also see major benefits to self-esteem.
