Family Nights Out
Families bring their children with
disabilities and their siblings to the Head Start facility
located
at
3528 Sheridan Avenue, on the first and the third
Saturdays
of every month. A structured recreation program including games, crafts, and
movies is provided.
Nights Out begin at 4pm and end precisely
at 10 pm. Parents are asked to bring
a dinner meal for children and Cheyenne
Respite Programs will provide a healthy snack in the evening. Children of all
ages are welcome. An application for family care must be received and approved
before children may attend Nights Out.
There is no charge for
Nights Out services, however, parent or guardian donations are appreciated and
encouraged. Parents may donate on a night by night basis or arrangements for
quarterly billing can be made. All donations are voluntary and greatly
appreciated.
Wings for Independence Dances
Dances provide a social gathering for young adults with
disabilities while allowing for independence and providing a break to
parents.
Dances are
held every second Friday of the month (except summer) at the Community House
in Lions Park. Individuals ages 12 to 25 are invited to attend. Dances
begin at 7:30 pm and end at 10:30 pm with a light snack provided.
Each
participant is charged three dollars for admission to help defer the cost of
renting the facility.

to 21, is held in the Lions
Park
Community House. Activities include: swimming, special daily programs, outdoor
