Recreation and Fitness
The Arc's Recreation and Fitness Programs create social outlets for people with developmental disabilities and promote healthy lifestyles. The Arc operates different programs to fit different people's needs and schedules.
Out on the Town
Adults with development disabilities participate in chapters of
this social club. Currently, clubs meet at each of the two Largo
locations. Out on the Town members meet twice monthly for three-month
sessions, to socialize, dine out, and participate in community
events. Click

Focus on Fitness
This program runs through a partnership with the Maryland-National Capitol Parks & Planning Commission (M-NCPPC). The program is separated into six-week sessions that run in conjunction with Adult Day Services. Each session introduces participants to different types of sports. Multiple agencies participate in an inter-agency tournament at the end of the program.
The Sarah Petit Fund
Established in memory of Sarah Ellen Petit, and administered and
supported by The Arc of Prince George's County, this grant supplements
recreational and travel expenses for people with developmental
disabilities. The goal of this program is to foster the growth
of friendships, meaningful community relationships, and joy in
living for as many people in as many different life situations
as possible. The grant is awarded in amounts of up to $300. Eligibility
requirements include the presence of a developmental disability
and either ongoing participation in programs and services of The
Arc, or membership in The Arc. For more information email spetitfund@thearcofpgc.org.
