Club Echo Visits
Cape Cod

Westchester Arc’s Club Echo recently traveled to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where vacationers toured lighthouses, visited the Cape Cod Potato Chip Factory and relaxed on the beach.

Six adults with developmental disabilities spent the week in a spacious beach house with Westchester Arc recreation specialist Annabel Bayon and career planner Kristy Fiorentino. Favorite activities included seal watching, swimming, miniature golf, bingo and browsing local art galleries and boutiques.

“This was a real family-style trip,” comments Annabel. “We all helped out around the house, from preparing meals to taking out the trash. All activities were based on travelers’ wants and needs, so there was something for everyone.”

Vacationers had charming accommodations.

Club Echo gives individuals 18 years of age and older the chance to enjoy vacations with their friends, while accompanied by knowledgeable, dependable staff. Day trips are taken to local sports venues, theaters, museums and other sites of interest. Weekends, four-day mini-excursions and longer trips have included Lake George, Las Vegas and Montreal.
