Welcome to Exceptional Adventures!

A Subsidiary of Partners For Quality, Inc.

Exceptional Adventures is a non-profit organization with over 35 years of experience providing vacation

opportunities, events and monthly dances for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Our Tours

Exceptional Adventures provides vacation planning for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who

are 18 years of age and older and have good self-care skills. (Some tours are available for guests 16 or older!)

Exceptional Adventures can accommodate persons with special needs such as sign language, special dietary restrictions or

the visually impaired.

Most tours can accommodate persons in wheelchairs, but check with us first! Exceptional Adventures offers 24-hour

supervision with staff in guests’ rooms or in the immediate area. Highly trained, caring volunteers are assigned to the

same guests for the duration of each tour. Exceptional Adventures normally uses a one-to-four (1:4) staff-to-guest ratio.

Our Dances

We offer monthly dances for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are 18 years of age and

older, and bi-monthly dances for teens with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the 13 to 21-year-old age range.

These dances are a fun way to help individuals develop social skills and healthy friendships with their peers. We provide

supervision for the dances if parents and guardians choose not to stay. All Agency staff, parents and guardians are

required to complete a Hold Harmless Form and Guest Information Sheet. This is required to participate at our dances

and for the safety of our guests. We will not be dispensing medications at these dances. Our staff provides supervision

and assistance only. All guests will enjoy snacks and soft drinks, get a chance to win door prizes and enjoy music from

our professional DJ. We have a Chinese Auction raffle and we have friendly volunteers to get everyone up and dancing!

All of our staff and volunteers are highly trained with all current clearances.

Red Hat Ladies Club

The Red Hat Ladies is a chapter of the Red Hat Society. This club is a great way for women to make new friends and join

in activities with other ladies who all have the same interests. We are a club just for WOMEN who are 18 years of age

and older that get together as a group and do activities. The most important part of this club is to have fun and make

friends.

Blue Cap Guys Club

The Blue Cap Guys Club is just for MEN! This club gets together as a group and does activities. You must be a male 18

and older to become a member. (Female staff/guardians can attend events.) You do not have to attend all of the

events to belong to this club. You can choose which activities interest you most. This club is a great way for individuals

to develop social skills and healthy friendships with their peers.

Volunteer Opportunities

Exceptional Adventures is a subsidiary of Partners For Quality, Inc. We take great pride in the events & trips that we

sponsor. The individuals we serve truly enjoy Exceptional Adventures’ activities and would not have the opportunity

without the involvement of volunteers.

Exceptional Adventures is always looking for compassionate and caring people to volunteer for our upcoming trips,

events and dances. Volunteers travel and attend events at no cost. All meals, lodging, transportation and entertainment

are covered by Exceptional Adventures!

We offer volunteer opportunities for those looking for volunteer hours, college students preparing for human service fields

or if you work with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

As a volunteer, one of your responsibilities is to help the guests participate in activities by joining in with them as a friend.

The most important thing is that our guests have a fun-filled and unforgettable time! You must be 18 years of age or

older to volunteer. Trainings are provided at no cost for all new volunteers.

All volunteers must fill out a Volunteer Application, a Pennsylvania Criminal History Record Check Application and

attend a New Volunteer Training before they can start attending trips, events and dances.

Please visit our website at www.exceptionaladventures.com or call our office at 412-446-0713, Extension 710 to get a

Volunteer Application.

privately-owned collection of Hollywood Christmas movie props & costumes used in Elf, Grinch,

Turboman, Santa Claus 1, 2 and 3 and many more. Experience flying with Santa in the simulator ride. Go

through Santa’s Squeeze and find out how Santa feels going down a chimney. PLUS, the most
