At the Gengras Center, we believe that minds, emotions, and bodies are all interconnected and integral to a full and meaningful life.
Through engaging activities, games, and athletic events, our program focuses on building strong bodies, promoting positive self-image, and encouraging self-confidence.
Our students learn far more than just game skills and gross motor skills. They gain skills essential for life beyond the school environment, including:
- Life-long fitness
- Social skills
- Leisure skills
Our Physical Education and Fitness Facilities
We leverage our extensive campus and community partnerships to provide diverse physical activities:
- Outdoor Spaces: Students enjoy our new inclusive playground and Kammy’s Court (outdoor basketball court).
- Campus Walks: The campus is utilized for fitness walks and movement activities.
- University Partnership: We have access to the USJ Athletic Center and its outdoor fields.
Indoor Spaces
When we can’t be outside due to weather, we utilize our well-equipped gym in the CARE building, where students have weekly PE classes. It is the perfect size for all the unique activities specially designed to fit the diverse needs of our students.
