Therapy, Aquatics, Fitness and Sports for All Ages

Courage Center St. Croix is located in the heart of the St. Croix River Valley in Stillwater, Minn. Our services use a holistic approach, interweaving therapy, fitness, recreation, sports and family involvement. In 2008, Courage Center St. Croix celebrated 20 years of service to families in the Northeast Metro and Western Wisconsin area. 

Our therapy services for both adults and children are designed to help people reach their highest level of functional independence at home, school, work and in the community.  Specific areas of focus include mobility, self-care, and the ability to communicate. We offer rehabilitation programs designed especially for people who have experienced a stroke, and our LSVT LOUD and BIG therapies help those who have Parkinson's Disease improve their speech and movement capabilities.  

Our aquatics, wellness and fitness programs concentrate on helping people reach and maintain their maximum potential and minimize secondary health conditions that may occur because of reduced physical activity or pain. The warm water pool, accessible fitness center and specially trained staff make our aquatic and fitness center unique, while offering clients an opportunity to receive a continuum of care within one caring and nurturing environment.

Courage Center St. Croix offers a variety of recreation and competitive adaptive sports programs for people with physical disabilities, including horseback riding, swimming, golf and skiing. These activities enhance independence, improve self-confidence and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle.

We have a social worker on staff to help provide support to families and individuals whom we serve.  Courage Center St. Croix coordinates a variety of support groups to help with the adjustment to and management of a disability. We also offer enrichment classes to enhance development.

Check out the Our Services pages on this site for more information or take a tour of Courage Center St. Croix. Tours are offered the first Wednesdays of each month, 9-10 a.m., and the third Tuesday of each month, 4-5 p.m., or by appointment.

Courage Center St. Croix Volunteers

Volunteers are the heart of Courage Center St. Croix.  Without them we would not be able to offer such a variety of programs and events.  We rely on volunteers to instruct, assist, and provide leadership in our programs.  We need volunteers to help with daily tasks in reception, filing and office work.  If you are interested in volunteer opportunities, contact Lisa Gacek at 651-351-2337 or Lisa.Gacek@couragecenter.org.
