Explorers is the social recreation program from Community Connections, giving adults with IDD and/or ASD a chance to get a fresh perspective, develop social skills, and build new friendships.
Social recreation provides structured activities in small groups to enhance social skills and allow participants to build life-long friendships in real-life situations.
Learn more about the world around you. There is always something new to see and somewhere else to explore. Sharing the experience forms stronger bonds and creates lasting memories.
Let’s have fun and learn about each other!
