The Community Enrichment Program (CEP) is a nights and weekends program designed to integrate those with intellectual and developmental disabilities into the community in a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Its purpose is to increase social connections, promote decision-making, build independence, build confidence, aid in skills development, allow participants to accomplish goals, and create a more inclusive community.

CEP offers many different activities throughout the year to help individuals build a strong community presence, in a way meaningful to their own lives. Some examples of events include educational courses, recreation and leisure activities. The Community Enrichment Program has been part of the Fond du Lac Community for over 25 years! Participants must be 18 or older.

The Arc of Fond du Lac’s Special Olympics program is hosted within the CEP program. Special Olympics works to further develop skills, accomplish personal goals, build conference, socialize, and increase physical activities. The Arc Fond du Lac host several sports throughout the years such as bowling, bocce ball, swimming, and basketball. The Arc Special Olympics program welcomes all athletes who are looking to compete and have some fun.
