 Therapeutic Recreation: Student Activities/Traditions

Activities:

The Therapeutic Recreation students are offered a myriad of opportunities to be involved in the community, some of these:

  • Camp Respite (Virginia Jaycee) Fall semester
  • Special Olympics (Regional Basketball)
  • Spring Arthritis Aquatics (weekly sessions) All year
  • Octoberfest at Longwood
  • Longwood Ambassadors
  • Sankofa Ambassadors

Traditions:

  • The Therapeutic Recreation Seniors are given a send off by the Junior students at the end of each fall.
  • This event is to launch the senior student to their spring semester internship, and to thank them for the commitment to their program, school, and community service.
  • The function is attended by faculty and usually comprises a senior dinner, a roasting, and other entertainment.
