At Ursa Major Day Support Program, our week-long schedule is thoughtfully designed to engage and enrich the lives of our adult participants. The week begins with our unique Work Skills Day every Monday at Little Bear Cafe, where participants gain practical vocational experience in customer service and culinary arts. From Tuesday to Friday, the program shifts to a broader focus, encompassing personal development, community engagement, and life skills enhancement. During these days, participants engage in a range of activities, from interactive workshops and skill-building sessions to community outings and recreational pursuits. Each day is structured to promote overall well-being, foster a sense of achievement, and help participants develop a wide array of practical and social skills. Our goal is to provide an enriching and supportive environment that encourages growth, independence, and meaningful social connections

Our philosophy at Ursa Major Day Support Program is centered around the belief in the effectiveness of small group settings. By maintaining small group sizes, we ensure personalized attention for each participant, fostering skill development and meaningful social interactions. Our program is conducted in a community center, providing a warm and inclusive environment that encourages participants to engage with their community. This setting is integral to our approach, allowing us to seamlessly incorporate community resources and real-world experiences into our curriculum. We focus on creating a supportive space where participants can explore personal growth, independence, and active community involvement, tailoring activities to suit their diverse needs and aspirations.

Our program operates Monday to Friday, from 9 AM to 4 PM. At Ursa Major Day Support Program, we are committed to a full-day schedule designed to provide a comprehensive and immersive experience for our participants. This schedule allows participants to fully engage in a wide range of activities and benefit from a consistent routine. As a result, we do not offer half-day sessions or drop-in participation. Our full-day program ensures that each participant receives the maximum benefit from our structured array of activities, fostering personal growth, skill development, and community involvement.

Due to the nature of our small group sizes and our community center location, the Ursa Major Day Support Program is not staffed or equipped to provide specialized behavioral or intensive medical support. Our focus is on offering a supportive environment conducive to social interaction and skill development. For individuals with significant behavioral challenges or complex medical needs, we may not be the best fit. We recommend discussing any specific requirements with our staff to determine if our program can meet your needs. Our goal is to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants while delivering an enriching and fulfilling experience.
