Transportation drop-off and pick up is required for all recreation programming, including Friday Night Happenings and Saturday Community Activities.

To help us provide safe, quality programs, participants are to be escorted into program sites. It’s very important that you do not leave anyone at a program site without confirming that program staff has arrived. Before leaving the building, please ensure that the participant is checked in with a member of the Recreation staff.

Participants should not arrive more than 15 minutes early nor be picked up more than 15 minutes after the program ends. If your family member will be utilizing The Ride or any other transportation service, please schedule drop-off as close to the program time as possible. The safety of our participants is paramount.

Northeast Arc Recreation staff will not utilize restraints in any situation. In the event of an emergency or severe behavioral occurrence, the supervising employee will call 911, safely secure the area, and notify the parent/guardian immediately. In the event of minor injuries — bumps, bruises, scrapes — first aid will be administered on-site.
