WINTER/SPRING 2022 PROGRAM GUIDE
January February March April
The McDonough County Special Recreation Association (MCSRA) is a
community therapeutic recreation organization that serves individuals with
disabilities who reside in McDonough County. MCSRA is a legal recreation
cooperative, subject to Section 11-85-14 of the Illinois Municipal Code. Supporting
municipalities include the Macomb Park District, the City of Macomb, and the Village
of Bardolph. It is structured to provide individuals of all ages and ability levels with the opportunity to
enjoy recreational experiences. MCSRA emphasizes recreation, leisure, culture, the environment,
community integration, and family centered activities. Our goal is to provide skills-based programming
to help further develop each individual’s proficiency in specialty areas as well as developing skills for
daily living. One of the aims of the MCSRA is to build a sense of community and support. Through quality
programming such as sporting activities, cooking experiences, travel ventures, outdoor adventures, and
so much more, we provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to build a social network with
both their peers and caregivers in the McDonough County area.
OUR MISSION
To provide positive, purposeful, and personal recreational experiences for populations with disabilities.

The COVID-19 virus is an extremely contagious virus that spreads easily through
person-to-person contact. Federal authorities and the State of Illinois recommend social distancing to
prevent the spread of COVID-19. Contracting COVID-19 can lead to severe illness, personal injury,
permanent disability, and death. Participation in MCSRA programs could increase the risk of you or your
participant in contracting COVID-19. MCSRA and its staff undertakes every effort to keep the
programming spaces clean and disinfected; however as with any public facility, MCSRA cannot guarantee
that the participant will be 100% safe from airborne illnesses such as COVID-19, colds, or flu while
participating in programs. The MCSRA staff are asking that all participating in programs go through an
assessment with an MCSRA staff member prior to starting programs to ensure the participant can adhere
to Center for Disease Control (CDC) and social distancing guidelines.
Participants will be asked to demonstrate the following during an assessment:
Participant needs to show they can wear a mask independently for an extended amount of time, staff
may assist with tying of masks as needed. The MCSRA staff will conduct and assessment through a Zoom
call or complete a personal assessment to decipher that the participant can successfully wear their
personal mask for the following recommended guideline time frames:
• Early childhood, 10 to 15 minute increments • School age, 10 to 20 minute increments
• Adult, 20 to 30 minute increments
During the assessment period, the MCSRA participants will also need to show the following:
1. Participants can wash their hands independently
or with minimal assistance and/or verbal cue or
prompts.
2. Participants understand not being able to
touch others and keeping distance from others
with verbal cues and prompts.
3. Participants must be able to refrain
from habits that could increase the
spread of illness such as:
• Picking Skin
• Picking nose
• Wiping nose and eyes with hands
• Spitting
• Putting objects in their mouth
4. Participants must allow a visual
health screening upon arrival and
departure. Employees will look for
the following during a visual
health screening:
• No soiled clothes
• No open wounds
• No visual symptoms of illness
5. Participants must be
able to use the
bathroom with minimal
assistance. MCSRA
staff will not be
allowed to assist with
toileting or transferring
at this time.
As part of the registration process participants and/or care givers are committing to following
guidelines set forth by CDC and the Illinois Department Public Heath (IDPH).
• Participant has no temperature (lower than 100.4°)
• Participant is free of shortness of breath
• Participant is free of diarrhea
• Participant is free of cough

Parents/guardians and participants are responsible
for informing the MCSRA staff of any changes to
address, phone numbers, or medical information.
If a participant will be absent from a program for
any reason, please notify the MCSRA office one
week (five business days) prior to the program date.
If a participant cancels less than five business days
before the program, only a 50% refund will be
issued. If a participant cancels on the day of the
program, no refund will be issued.
Programs may be cancelled due to inclement
weather or low enrollment numbers. When a
program is cancelled for either reason, a credit will
be placed on the participants account to be used
toward future programs
MCSRA provides an approximate 1:4
staff-to-participant ratio. If the participant requires
a closer 1:1 ratio, please indicate the reason on the
registration form.
Although the MCSRA realizes that inappropriate
behavior may occur in programs, the MCSRA
Director retains the right to suspend participation if
hazardous, disruptive, or destructive behavior
persists. Participants may be held liable for
deliberate destruction of equipment or facilities.
When arriving at or departing from a program,
please check in with the staff before you leave or
take the participant. If someone other than the
parent/guardian will be picking a participant up, a
note must be given to an MCSRA staff member. Staff
will not allow a participant to leave with another
person without written notice.
If a non-authorized individual takes a
child without the consent of the MCSRA, local law
authorities will be contacted and further action will be
taken.

minutes prior to the program start time or is picked up 15
minutes later than a program end time, appropriate
parties will be charged for the additional staff expense
accrued during that time.

belongings at programs, the MCSRA cannot be held
responsible for lost or stolen property. Participants should
not bring valuables to programs.
