Encompass Recreation

About Us

We are a local nonprofit serving Jefferson and Lewis Counties committed to providing recreational opportunities for youth ages 2 through high school with higher support needs.

What does that mean; higher support needs? It means that, for any reason, your child doesn’t feel comfortable participating in “traditional” sports and recreational opportunities, we welcome you to our events. Examples of this may include (but not limited to) anxiety, sensory struggles, ADHD, autism, down syndrome, communication limitations, physical/motor delays.
We don’t gate-keep! nor do we require documentation .

Some events are strictly for youth with higher support needs to be the participants, while others are open to all youth and may have special divisions for exceptional youth. (But we always need volunteers!)
