The Riekes Center exists for the enhancement of the individual student. Our mission is to provide each student with the best possible opportunity to define and accomplish his or her individual goals in Athletic Fitness, Creative Arts and Nature Awareness. We provide these opportunities regardless of the student’s ability to pay, or ability to “perform.”  We work with students who are mentally and physically gifted, and mentally and physically challenged. Each person’s uniqueness and potential is celebrated. The Riekes Center thrives on providing transformational outcomes for our students.

The Riekes Center is dedicated to providing an environment of non-judgment and mutual respect, an environment in which all students, all goals, all interests and abilities are equally important, where real world diversity thrives, and where empathy is encouraged. The Core Values of Self Supervision, Honest Communication and Sensitivity to Others are the Center’s operational and social standards.
