“When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to the happiness that you can give out.” —Eleanor Roosevelt
The Arc Tampa Bay offers several educational, employment, and recreational programs for intellectually and developmentally disabled adults at the spacious Long Center facility, which is owned and operated by the City of Clearwater. This unique partnership allows access to sports venues and the use of facility services, allowing day program participants to experience community activities alongside Clearwater residents.
Adult day program participants expressing an interest in the arts may choose to participate at this charming art studio located in downtown Safety Harbor. At Harborside Studios, not only do artists explore various techniques and artistic mediums, but their paintings, ceramic items, and other crafts are on display and available for purchase. Artists also display their creations at local events such as Safety Harbor’s 3rd Friday.
This quaint site, with ample acreage, was opened to fill a need in northern Pinellas and southern Pasco counties for adult day program services. Adults enjoy many leisure, educational and therapeutic activities at this site. With its proximity to many local attractions, day program participants also have opportunities to enjoy community outings to the Sponge Docks, the Tarpon Springs Aquarium, etc.
