Recreation For All
"Sport and recreation programs for people with disabilities promote healthy lifestyles."
Program Sampler
I n the past,
access to recreation programs and activities has been a problem for people with disabilities. The Pennsylvania Center for
Adapted Sports was created to make sports and recreation more accessible for people with disabilities.
We offer a wide variety of activities, and a comprehensive approach to exercise and physical activity. Our programs are
geared to promoting active and healthy lifestyles that improve and maintain the quality of life.
Every day we work to make recreation and sports more meaningful and productive to people with disabilities. Many of our
programs are conducted right in the community and alongside able bodied peers.
At the Center, we are constantly developing and adding new programs, and keeping pace with the state of the art in equipment
design and techniques.
All ages and all abilities participate in our programs. Our goal is to to make community based recreation and sports accessible
to everyone.
