Opportunities for play, recreation, and leisure are essential for a full and flourishing life. What do you like to do? Where would you like to go? What would you like to learn?

About Our Fees
Most of our outings and outing expenses will be covered by your already available respite fund. Rates for these high quality programs and guided group outings are set by the Washington Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) for whom we are a contracted community respite provider. Fees are $18.16 per person per hour. Please check with your case resource manager with the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) to see if you are eligible and have funds available to bill DDA.
When registering, you will have the option to self-pay or to instruct us to bill DDA. Fees for each activity/event includes actual care time plus transportation and sometimes other applicable expenses. Your Cascade Team Member will work with you to design activities within your available budget.
