Activities & Vacations
Rooted in the philosophy that each of our lives are
shaped by the experiences we encounter, Serra Center
provides numerous opportunities for the individuals we
serve to enjoy and experience the world safely and
comfortably.
All excursions are staffed with the ratio of one
chaperon for every 3 travelers (with special
arrangements for individuals who require 1:1 care). We
base this on the needs of the individuals traveling,
while considering mobility, capabilities, age and social
skills.
Whether it’s a local festival, a Mexico Cruise, or a
jaunt to the Hawaiian Islands, these adventures broaden
the horizons of each individual through learning,
socializing, playing and gaining independence and self
confidence, while educating the rest of the world that
people with developmental disabilities aren’t so
different.
Testimonials...
"I went to Memphis,
Tennessee; I saw where Elvis lived and lots of other places that I’ve never
been before. That is the trip that stands out most for me because it was a big
and exciting trip."
~Michelle, Serra Center
Client
"I have had the pleasure of chaperoning individuals on trips that were
considered their life’s dream.
One individual cried and stated, “I can’t believe
I’m here, this is a dream come true.” It was a
moment I will never forget."

"As we prepared to
tour the Louvre, I wondered how the great works contained here would impact the
individuals in my care? Robert wouldn’t rest until he found a specific piece -
'Where is she? I need to find her?' he repeated as he pointed to a picture on
the brochure.
When we finally reached the Egyptian Gallery, there stood a
beautiful ancient Egyptian gold vase. Robert stood staring into the case
mesmerized – 'There she is . . .' and that is all that was said as we stood
together appreciating the beauty of this
piece. My question was answered."
