Buena Vista Recreation is excited to partner with Achieve, Inc to offer stand-alone Achieve Social programs designed to support and include neurodivergent individuals, including those on the autism spectrum, with ADD/ADHD, and related disabilities. The inclusive outings provide opportunities to build communication, teamwork, and confidence, while supporting social and cognitive growth for individuals in Chaffee County and the surrounding area.

Events are designed for individuals ages 14 and up. Each activity is supported by trained staff and volunteers, with a minimum ratio of one support person for every three participants. If a participant requires more individualized support, they are welcome to attend withe a personal caregiver, mentor, or support person. All attendees – including neurodivergent individuals, friends, family members, and volunteers – must register separately to ensure adequate planning and accommodation.
