Since February 2001, Kartwheels has been operating its recreational, afterschool programs for children and young adults who face physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges. In addition to providing an important recreational venue for our participants, Kartwheels offers numerous other benefits to those involved. In fact our activities offer a safe and fun opportunity for a diverse population of children and young adolescents to benefit from the therapeutic effect of gym and pool recreation. Kartwheels' locations are convenient to families throughout metro Boston.
