Weekday Program

9:30am-1:00pm and 2:00pm-5:30pm

During Weekday Programs, Max Higbee staff support member engagement in a variety of activities as well as lead participants on a wide range of community excursions. This program aims to improve participants' access and engagement in the community and to support participants in achieving greater independence through practicing life skills. Programs include YMCA workouts, cooking classes, hikes, sports, library visits, art projects and much more. Each day has a scheduled primary activity led by Recreation Leaders, but participants are encouraged to engage in the way that best supports their needs and interests. Alternative activities are always provided and include board games, painting, books, etc. MHC staff are always looking to expand our offered activities, so if you have an idea please send it our way!
