For individuals with disabilities
Our Mission: To improve the quality of life for children, youth, and adults with disabilities, and their families, through recreational and educational experiences.
Milwaukee Recreation's Therapeutic Recreation program offers activities specifically for individuals with disabilities ages three and up. Classes are offered throughout the year at various locations in the city of Milwaukee. Participants are given the opportunity to recreate in a wide variety of activities with outstanding staff members to guide them to success.
Adaptations are made to facilitate active participation of all participants. In addition to quality programming, participants have constant opportunities to socialize and build life long friendships. Beyond just fun and games, recreation participation brings opportunities for physical fitness, increased self-confidence, cooperation, and positive use of leisure time.
All programs are lead by trained staff/leaders and have a 1 to 4 staff/participant ratio. Agencies and group homes enrolling four or more participants must provide support staff to assist the Recreation staff during the program.
Choose from a wide variety of classes, including yoga, computers, field trips, cultural events, family activities, dances and instruction, swim instruction, personal training, cooking, scrapbooking, bowling, and more.
Try something new or return for more excitement each season!
