L’Arche Daybreak
Our Programs
L’Arche Daybreak is a vibrant example of how people of different intellectual abilities, social origins, religions, and cultures can live, work, and learn together. Our programs offer meaningful and inclusive opportunities for core members to acquire new skills, engage in new experiences, socialise, explore, create, and otherwise participate in the community. The strength of Daybreak’s programs comes from the underlying vision that everyone has a unique capacity to positively impact those with whom they are in relationship.
Virtual Afternoon Programs
Come and join us virtually for our weekly activities over Zoom, where there is something new for you each day. You can enjoy various activities such as yoga, gentle exercise, drumming, music with Mary, karaoke, and bingo.
L’Arche Daybreak includes several onsite programs that are dynamic places of work, recreation and creativity: The Club, The Craft Studio, The Day Program, The Spirit Movers dance troupe and The Woodery woodworking shop.
The Club
The Club is a vibrant day program where adults of all ages and abilities find friendships and develop and share their gifts. Each day is theme-focused on learning new skills, literacy, building self-confidence, and having fun.
The Craft Studio
The Craft Studio offers Core Members the opportunity to learn new skills, express themselves artistically, and explore their creativity in a social and supported environment. Craft Studio artists create beautiful pieces of one-of-a-kind candles, pottery, and handmade paper.
Connections
Connections is a place for individuals with diverse needs to socialize and find meaningful days in an accessible setting, as well as connect with the wider community. Daily activities are defined by the gifts and interests of each person.
The Spirit Movers
The mission of the Spirit Movers dance troupe is to celebrate the sacred through dance. The Spirit Movers gather one day a week to develop, rehearse, and expand their dance repertoire.
The Woodery
The Woodery is Daybreak’s woodworking program, providing meaningful, positive and productive time in a professional setting. The Woodery manufactures products for many different industries.
