Las Trampas Creates
Our beautiful art room is a favorite among our participants. Participants learn new art techniques and create art pieces that are displayed in the main lobby of our building. Art classes help foster experimentation and creative expression among our participants.
Las Trampas Exercises
Our Dance/Exercise Room is designed to provide individuals with opportunities for physical conditioning and is accessible to people with severe physical disabilities. Classes change frequently and may include: basic movement, yoga, Tai Chi, Zumba, wheelchair and in-seat exercise, and mindfulness.
Las Trampas Cooks
Our ADA-compliant teaching kitchen allows participants to develop cooking skills to support them to live independently one day. The kitchen includes low counters allowing wheelchair access and participation, an oven at a lower height and with French doors for easy access, an induction stovetop to avoid burns, and both residential and commercial dishwashers to prepare participants to do dishes in their own home and in a work setting. In their classes, participants learn how to use kitchen equipment safely, choose a menu, budget, shop for ingredients, plan and prepare a meal, and clean up.
Las Trampas Grows
Individuals learn the value of cultivating plants, including fruits and vegetables. They learn to purchase seeds, plant them in our garden, and tend them as they grow. So far, participants have planted rhubarb, bok choy, carrots, herbs, sweet peas, and lettuce. They are even procuring a composter so that participants can learn about how to make their own soil. Once everything is grown, the bounty of the harvest will be used in the teaching kitchen.
Las Trampas Adventures
We focus heavily on community-based programming, which supports our participants to integrate into the community, practice social interaction, and connect with others. Our staff support nearly every participant who chooses to take public transportation, such as the BART, into the community. Examples of community-based programming include trips to museums, parks, libraries, fitness facilities, sporting events, and more.
Las Trampas Pays
Some participants in the Adult Day Program participate in paid-work opportunities to hone their employment skills. This includes on-site janitorial/maintenance work, as well as off-site contract work in janitorial/maintenance and yard maintenance areas with local companies and agencies, including clean-up of Walnut Creek Parks. If you manage or own a company that may require these services, the people we serve are more than happy to help you.
