Activities

Making Bread BPI provides a wide range of meaningful adult activities tailored to meet the variety of special needs and interests of the people participating in the program.

Every day is a different mix of opportunities for socializing, mentally stimulating games, reminiscence opportunities, discussions, craft and art work, physical activities, intergenerational experiences, healthcare, therapy assistance and personal care as well as shopping trips, tours and BPI adventures.

Individuals can actively join an event, choose to enjoy watching others or do their own thing. There are opportunities for large and small group activities as well as one to one interactions. Several activities may be going on at once.

BPI’s monthly Calendar of Events is only a small portion of the activities we provide daily.
