CSRI & Special Recreation

Cooperative Special Recreation Initiative Events

The Cooperative Special Recreation Initiative is a cooperative venture seeking ways to increase recreational opportunities for individuals of all ages who have special needs and abilities. To receive announcements of upcoming activities email CSRI or call one of the sponsoring agencies.

By working together toward a common goal we are able to provide more events to a larger amount of people than any one agency alone. Friend CSRI on Facebook to find out more about what's going on.

The following agencies are proud to partner to offer CSRI:

Go Paperless

Help save postage and be more environmentally friendly by going paperless. We are keeping a CSRI email list so notifications of events can be sent out as they approach. If you are interested in being added to the CSRI mailing list or need to correct an address, name or contact person, please email CSRI.
