CONNECTIONS PROGRAM
"Promoting inclusion, independence, and belonging through real-world experiences."
Inclusive Adventures LLC's Connections Program is a social recreation program that creates opportunities for individuals of all abilities to build friendships, discover new interests, and develop everyday life skills through structured, inclusive social-recreation outings and hands-on experiences. Each experience blends fun, learning, and social growth in real-world settings - helping participants build meaningful peer relationships, gain confidence and a stronger sense of belonging.
It is an all-inclusive program that embodies the following:
- Creative Expression & The Arts
- Community Discovery & Exploration
- Active Adventures & Group Play
- Independence In Action
CREATIVE EXPRESSION & THE ARTS
Through art socials, music, and cultural experiences, we give the participants the opportunity to engage in inclusive recreation that provides creative ways to connect and express individuality. Whether painting together, attending a museum, an art walk, or participating in a group project, each experience nurtures imagination, encourages social interaction, self-expression, and shared enjoyment.
COMMUNITY DISCOVERY & EXPLORATION
Participants go into the heart of their community - exploring social-recreation experiences in a meaningful way. We give the participants the opportunity to connect through adventures such as nature walks, visiting cultural landmarks, beaches, parks, attending local events, festivals, and discovering the many hidden gems across California. Outings are recreational by thoughtful design, encouraging conversation, promoting social participation, awareness to community resources, and inclusive exploration alongside peers.
ACTIVE ADVENTURES & GROUP PLAY
Energetic, engaging, and pure fun! Recreational activities bring everyone together through shared movement and teamwork - from adaptive sports, outdoor games, dance socials, scavenger hunts, and community field days. With every movement, we encourage participation, laughter, and connection while discovering the joy of group play.
INDEPENDENCE IN ACTION
Participants practice everyday independence through inclusive, community-based recreation. They enjoy experiences like learning to read a menu, and ordering food with friends, budgeting for group outings, navigating public transportation, or planning a trip together. These shared adventures help participants gain not only practical know-how, but also friendships, teamwork, confidence, and a sense of belonging-the heart of social recreation.
