Rec N’ Roll
Rec N’ Roll is an after school program that focuses on peer socialization and recreation. Each day has a different theme. Each week the group will meet
at Takiff Center where we will have an afternoon snack and play games while we wait for our friends to arrive. Once everyone is ready, we'll stay in for
sports or a day of innovation and creativity, or head out for an afternoon adventure or bowling. After the day’s activities, the group will finish the afternoon
back at Takiff Center with games and fun. A snack will be provided each day. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to transport the
participant to and from the Rec N’ Roll program. See page 62 for additional information.
