The Arc Recreation Club

The Arc Recreation Club is a social recreation club for adults aged 18 & older with developmental disabilities. The club provides fun and engaging community outings in the Portland area several times per month. Through its activities, the Recreation Club strives to promote self-confidence, positive relationships, and a sense of belonging among its members. And, oh yeah…we also just have a whole lot of fun!

Recent club outings include:

• Karaoke Night
• Dinner at a local restaurant
• Saturday Market
• Bowling
• Movie Matinee
• And much more!

The club is self-directed; that is, members help pick activities for the group through facilitated brainstorming sessions. Here's a bit more information:

• To join, you must become a member of The Arc of Multnomah - Clackamas.  You must pay the $12 annual membership fee. This will give you access to all Recreation Club activities.
• Members must be at least 18 years of age, but there is no age limit. 
• Any additional costs associated with club outings are the responsibility of the individual (such as movie tickets, admission fees, etc.).
• Members should have the ability to manage their own behavior without instruction from others, and should have the ability to start and continue conversations with other members.
• All activities and outings are staffed by Arc employees and community volunteers.
• All activities and outings are staffed by trusted Arc volunteers who have a long history with the club and its members. Arc volunteers have completed extensive criminal history and reference checks.
