Clubhouse Evening and Weekend Programs

Activities occur both within the Clubhouse and through excursions into the outside Our Clubhouse sums up its Evening and Weekend Program: “We play as hard as we work together….Like everything Clubhouse, it’s all about relationships.” Clubhouse evenings and weekends are for fun, but more than fun. Evening/Weekend activities are all-inclusive, reflecting the concern of Clubhouses for the whole of people’s lives and for relationships based on wholeness.
