1:1 Recreation Therapy

Personalized support through the healing power of leisure.
​
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, managing mental health challenges, building life skills, or simply reconnecting with joy. Our individual sessions are designed to meet you where you are. We support people of all ages and abilities, with a focus on dignity, creativity, and connection.

1:1 services are ideal for:
  • Children, youth, adults, and seniors with disabilities

  • Individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, or burnout

  • Anyone seeking purpose, identity exploration, or meaningful routines

  • Families looking for therapeutic support beyond traditional models

Respite & Companionship

Intentional support led by Life Enrichment Specialists (LES) and Child and Youth Care Practitioners (CYC) to ensure dignity, joy, and therapeutic value.

​We understand that the environment where care happens is just as important as the connection itself. Our Respite and Companionship services move away from "hustle culture" to focus on high-quality leisure routines that respect autonomy and individual needs. Whether it’s a nature walk, a shared creative project, or a calming routine, our team ensures every session is a purposeful investment in your loved one’s well-being. Under the clinical supervision of a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS), we bridge the gap between reliable care and meaningful life engagement.

NOTE : Individuals who participate in respite can only use the leisure learning lab through registration either in programs/and or membership, must be 13+ and be eligible based on current needs.
