Powered by GoogleFabulous organization! My son and his friends are very active in the adaptive recreation programs. We are blessed to live in such a great community that provides for ALL the residents.
RARA has the most amazing adaptive programming for children and adults with special needs! My daughter attends many classes and activites, as well as Scamp. They are always the highlight of her week!
RARA is an amazing organization. They care about the kids and the parents and have been so nice and easy to work with. I always feel good when my little one goes to her basketball practice because I know they’re in good hands
Son has been attending camp for the last few years. Excellent program. Flexible drop off and pick up hours. Many different camps to pick from. Very affordable as well. Would definitely recommend. Only thing I am disappointed about is they changed the age for the counselor in training program from 13 to 16 years of age. Now he is too old to attend camp and too young to train as a counselor.
The Adaptive services at RARA are priceless. It provides a safe place for people with different abilities to create lasting friendships, have wonderful life experiences and self-affirming accomplishments. We love you!! The Mingle Family
