Our mission is to support socialization, wellness, emotional expression, physical activity, creativity, and—above all—enjoyment.
MORA’s Therapeutic Recreation department stands out because we combine flexibility, community connection, and pure fun to create experiences that matter:
Our staff travel to each MORA home, provide activities in the Pearson Center, and coordinate community outings—ensuring everyone has access to meaningful recreation.
Participants can explore new hobbies, enjoy favorite pastimes, meet new people, and build confidence through options like:
We collaborate with incredible volunteers and partner organizations who help make our Carnival, Spring Formal, Halloween Dance, and other major events unforgettable.
These partnerships help “bring MORA to the community and the community to MORA.”
MORA hosts practices and supports teams that compete in regional and state Special Olympics events—promoting teamwork, pride, and personal achievement.
Our beloved camp experience creates lifelong memories with activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, swimming, fishing, arts & crafts, grilling, bonfires, and plenty of laughter shared among MORA participants, staff, and volunteers.
