Overview

The practice of Recreation Therapy program from Lambton College is based on the belief that play, recreation and leisure are essential to achieving an individual's optimal health and sense of well being which leads to improved quality of life. Through the development of meaningful goals and objectives individuals working in the field of Recreation Therapy will use recreation as a therapeutic tool to improve health and restore wellness.

Through volunteering and experiential learning that includes field placements and a variety of community experiences, students will receive valuable hands on experience.
