Physical fitness and wellness are important components of our daily activities at More Than Capable. Participants have opportunities to engage in a variety of fitness and movement activities designed to promote strength, stamina, endurance, coordination, and overall well-being. Participants work toward person-centered goals while building healthy habits.

​

Participants visit the YMCA’s Red Bank location three times a week, where activities may include individual workouts, group fitness classes, and aquatic exercise. Beyond the YMCA, participants enjoy hiking, walking, and other movement activities led by a qualified instructor.

​

Our goal is to make physical activity enjoyable, meaningful, and accessible to individuals of all abilities.

Developing the skills needed to navigate everyday life is an important part of our activities.  Participants engage in hands on learning experiences throughout the community that encourage independence, confidence responsibility, and decision making.  Activities include but are not limited to cooking and meal planning, grocery shopping, gardening, organizing personal space, and managing daily routines.  Participants will also explore transportation options including buses, trains, as well as ride share services such as Uber.   Through real life community experiences, participants have opportunities to practice their skills, explore their surroundings, and become more comfortable at navigating everyday situations.  We encourage learning and personal growth.  

Our Rhythm & Community activities offers participants opportunities to explore music through drum circles, musical storytelling, collaborative rhythm activities, learning new instruments, and karaoke. Activities take place in various settings throughout the community, with guest musicians sometimes joining to play with and for participants.

​

Through shared musical experiences, participants can practice listening, communication, turn-taking, cooperation, and coordination while building confidence and expressing their creativity. Making music together also encourages social connection, a sense of belonging, and meaningful participation in community life.

Our Arts and Creative Expressions activities encourages participants to explore their creativity, discover new interests, learn new mediums, and expresse themselves through a variety of artistic experiences. Activities include but are not limited to painting, drawing, crafts, mixed media, fabric painting, crocheting, knitting, t-shirt printing, button making and other hands-on projects that promote imagination and self-expression.  Art classes take place in a variety of settings.  Our goal is to create an environment where creativity is celebrated, and everyone has the opportunity to expand and develop their artistic abilities and learn new skills. 

Our Media & Communication activities offer participants opportunities to explore podcasting, interviewing, storytelling while developing valuable communication and social skills. Participants also have the opportunity to contribute to "The Extra Slice Podcast," featured on More Than Capable's YouTube channel.  These experiences encourage confidence, self-expression, teamwork and meaningful connections, and gives participants a platform to share their voices and perspectives, as well as setting up and breaking down equipment.   Our interviews take place in the community at local businesses and venues.  

Community trips and activities take place throughout the week and month. Fridays are designated for weekly trips, with additional outings scheduled on other weekdays.

​

Activities include, but are not limited to, visits to the Tinton Falls community library for story discussions and crafts; visits with Monmouth University’s occupational and speech therapy graduate program for movement, cooking, and social skills activities, Grounds For Sculpture for art experiences, yoga or Tai Chi classes and RWJ Barnabus Live Well Center for cooking class.  Participants also explore local parks, venues, and other community destinations.

​

These experiences offer opportunities to discover new interests, practice everyday life and social skills, build confidence, and develop meaningful connections within the community.
