THANK YOU for your interest in New Vista’s Destination Discovery program, Southern Nevada’s premiere recreational and group respite program!

At the core of all New Vista’s programs is the belief that people of all abilities are of equal worth, deserving of dignity and respect! Participation in Destination Discovery activities is an invaluable opportunity for greater inclusion and camaraderie, in a supportive and safe environment.

With the expert guidance and assistance of our trained staff, special care is taken in the planning of each journey. This includes providing healthier meal options for our adventurers, which means fast-food establishments are not part of the Destination Discovery experience. Destination Discovery groups maintain a 5 to 1 ratio of participants to staff, ensuring that each adventurer receives attention and support throughout the journey!

In addition to providing an important, quality respite support tool for families and caregivers, all Destination Discovery events promote educational opportunities for participants to foster self-confidence, learn relationship building techniques, and social skills, in a fun environment with peers.

The FUN is in the discovery!
