Our programs are customized for each individual. We use state-of-the-art adaptive equipment and professional instructors to create a high-quality, therapeutic experience.

The first day we host 400 people at our evening Gala Dinner, which features a silent auction, a feast prepared by top local chefs, a live auction, and a peppy band for after-dinner dancing.
