Recreation is a big part of the Chapel Haven experience and, in fact, Chapel Haven is known nationally for the quality of its recreation and socialization program which blends fun with learning. Clients enjoy an array of activities including movies, ski trips, picnics, pizza parties, barbecues, swimming and new activities that are offered in our newly constructed Community Room which houses computers, a pool table, television and lots of comfortable seating areas. Once chores are completed, the remainder of the evening until curfew is available for socializing in the back yard, relaxing or surfing the internet in the community room, or attending an outreach activity in the Education Center. Weekends are filled with recreational opportunities including trips to the movies, theater, restaurants, bowling, craft fairs, amusement parks, professional sporting events, the beach, and shopping malls. The Travel Club provides for vacations on Cape Cod, to the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, Disney World or Europe.
All residents have their own medical and dental professionals in the community.
