Springfield Recreational Programs
The Arc is proud to offer activity services that provide individuals with disabilities access to gymnasiums, a pool, summer camp, and other fun opportunities. All programs take place at the Timothy Grant Newport Activity Center in Springfield, Missouri. The center contains a full-sized gym and pool with all necessary equipment for assisting individuals with disabilities to live a healthy and active lifestyle.
