Therapeutic Recreation Programs

Since Spring 2020, Dottie Jordan Recreation Center has been offering Therapeutic Recreation programs for adults with differing abilities. These therapeutic programs are designed by Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) and facilitated by our team of trained therapeutic Activity Specialists to ensure a meaningful and successful leisure experience.
Dottie Jordan Recreation Center is now the second location of the Good Neighbor Adventure Club (GNAC) which is a recreation based adult day program for individuals with intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities. The program provides opportunities to improve social interaction skills, develop peer relationships, learn lifetime leisure skills and build the self-confidence necessary for a high quality of life. This program is currently accepting applications!
