Adaptive Recreation
Adaptive Recreation is a program designed for adults with developmental disabilities to recreate, socialize, and try new things! Our focus is fun and friendship. The City of Davis has provided 45 years of programming or community members with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Year-round outings offer participants the opportunity to hone social skills, broaden recreation interests and develop life-long friendships. Our programs include weekly virtual social hours, bowling, and game nights to name a few! Our staff provide supervision and facilitate socialization. Our monthly calendar can be found at the links below. The Program Coordinator provides registration and intake for all new participants.

Philosophy
Many opportunities are available that may enhance the quality of life through the pursuit of leisure activities. The City of Davis is proud to offer both inclusive and separate recreational activities to ensure that community members have choices while in search of these goals. The landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) expands protection and choices for individuals with disabilities.

Adaptive Recreation Teens
Specifically designed for the younger crowd, teens with developmental disabilities can participate in weekly bowling sessions and weekend programs and outings around the community. This program is similar to the adult program, but provides a bit more supervision and serves individuals 13-21 years of age. Flyers can be found at City Hall or click on the Teen's Night Out link below. The Program Coordinator provides an intake process for all new participants.

Reasonable Accommodations & Inclusion
Through inclusive programming support services, participants of all abilities may enjoy all that the City has to offer. Our goal is to help secure meaningful participation in our classes and unite our community of all abilities & neuro diversities. City staff looks forward to getting to know you and your needs.

Through the City's registration system and accommodations policy, participants may request accommodations as needed. The City utilizes consistent procedures and guidelines in order to provide inclusive experiences for all ages.

The type and amount of assistance provided will be determined on an individual basis. Recreation participants receiving assistance must mark the ADA ASSISTANCE NEEDED box on the registration form. Please allow at least three weeks advance notice for all "Reasonable Accommodations" requests.

Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to work in a variety of programs for youth, teens, and adults with disabilities. Special skills are appreciated, but not required. Get involved in our amazing community!
