Welcome to the Peppermint Ridge Adaptive & Educational Recreation Program!

Peppermint Ridge Adaptive Recreation Program offers a variety of leisure activities, clubs, and classes to help each individual reach their goals and passions. Our activities are created from our residents interests. We serve individuals with intellectual and/ or physically disabilities. Our goal is to adapt our activities to reach each individuals needs.

Participant Wellness: If you happen to be feeling under the weather, make sure to check in with you’re staff to make sure that you are well enough to attend the activity. If you’re feeling the symptoms of a fever of 100 degrees or higher, contagious rash, or itchy skin, vomiting within the last 24 hours, occurring diarrhea in the last 24 hours, cough or cold symptoms/flu, pink eye, lice, or dizziness, please take further precautions. A day or two of rest may result in gaining energy and ability to feel well.

Weather Policy: Peppermint Ridge staff is aware that weather can be a concern at times. In the day it can be sunny and hot, but then night rolls around and its freezing cold. Make sure that you are wearing the proper clothing to stay warm or cool. Also bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
