Recreation (LARC) & Senior Enrichment
Creating Community. Celebrating Abilities.
Our Leisure and Recreation Club (LARC) brings individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities together to share meaningful experiences with friends, family and volunteers alike.
Our Senior Enrichment Program is where Muskegon County residents 60 and older stay active, connected, and engaged. There’s always something new to explore!
Our Mission is simple: to build inclusive, community-based opportunities where everyone can connect, learn and have fun.

LARC members enjoy a wide variety of affordable activities—from theater outings and sporting events to shopping trips and creative classes. Whether you’re interested in weaving, water aerobics, or trying something entirely new, there’s always something exciting on the calendar.
