Small groups. Big possibilities.
Every day is built around personal interests, friendships, and real community participation. We keep groups intentionally small — four participants to one navigator — so experiences stay meaningful and each person gets the support they need.
Using Maryland DDA funding?
DayVentures may be available through Community Development Services for eligible Maryland DDA Community Pathways participants, when authorized in the participant's approved plan. Self-directed budgets, provider-managed services and private pay are all welcome.
