Powered by GoogleMelissa Clarke-Wharff and staff were incredibly rude to my children. A few weeks ago, my kids took time out of their day to help out at Courage League only to be disrespected. Disappointed.
What a fantastic place for kids with special needs to exercise, play, and make friends. Melissa Clarke-Wharf is a true hero for opening and running this place.
Our boys (ages 2 and 3) had fun today with the classes and open gym. All of the staff were so nice and helpful! I love the punchcards they sell: it was a great gift idea for the grandparents and provides our children a great way to expend energy on a cold, snowy day.
Courage League has a wonderful environment for people who have special needs. The staff here is fantastic with the participants.
This place is fantastic!!! My kids love it, tons of neat equipment and great staff. Highly recommend!
