Review for The Arc for River Valley, Fort Smith, AR, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have worked with Individuals with disabilities for over 13 years and the ARC has played a major role in their lives. My first experience with ARC was at Bowling. To see these Individuals use both competitiveness and team work is very heartwarming. They look forward each week to get together to bowl and socialize with their friends. Then there is the dances. I really enjoy seeing them get on the dance floor and let loose. The ARC has at least 3 dances a year, Valentines, Halloween and Christmas. Other activities include fishing derby, walk, swim party, Karaoke, movie night and potlucks. At the facility itself they have cooking and art classes, computer lab and an activity room. In the activity room t hey have a TV to watch DVDs , puzzles and board games and books to read. They also have another TV for WII and X Box. There is also a Foosball table, a ping pong table and an air hockey table that converts to a pool table. They recently added a garden to grow vegetables. Enough about the activities, the people there are the ones that make a difference. They make you feel right at home, weather it is your first time there or you are there everyday. You are always greeted with a smile and positive attitude. I cannot say enough about the ARC. It is a fun and AWESOME place to be.
