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:

• Oaks Amusement Park
• Blazers basketball game
• Saturday Market and MAX ride
• Picnic and games in a local park
• A day of service at a local community garden
• A pool party

And much, 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.  The yearly fee is $10 for self-advocates and it gives members access to all Recreation Club activities
• Members must be at least 18 years of age, but there is now 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
