adaptive programming
recreational health and wellness opportunities for individuals with unique needs.
WHY ADAPTIVE RECREATION?
At the Fond du Lac Family YMCA we provide individuals of all abilities with opportunities to choose participation in recreation and leisure programs. Adaptive Recreation helps to nurture each person’s unique needs for a more effective learning environment. The experience will highlight a healthy lifestyle, which is an important part of every individual's life. Staff are trained to support and encourage each participant in the Y's adaptive programs.

• If for some reason you are unable to make a scheduled lesson, it is your responsibility to call the instructor directly as well as the Fond du Lac Family YMCA within 24 hours of the lesson. Failure to contact the YMCA and the instructor for a cancelled lesson will count as one of the classes paid for.
