WHO WE ARE
The Western DuPage Special Recreation Association (WDSRA) was established in 1976 to expand recreational opportunities for individuals with special needs. It began with a summer day camp, soon followed by a bowling program. Today, WDSRA serves residents across nine communities—Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Glen Ellyn, Naperville, Roselle, Warrenville, West Chicago, Wheaton, and Winfield. We offer hundreds of social and recreational programs year round. As a cooperative extension of each community’s park district, we take pride in providing inclusive, enriching programs for all.
OUR MISSION
We enrich lives, connect communities and create fun through inclusive recreational opportunities.
OUR VISION
A world of opportunities, belonging and individuals reaching their full potential.
