Hugo joined The Arc of Essex County’s West Caldwell Hub Day Program in 2024 and quickly became immersed in the social scene there. He especially enjoys trips to go bowling or play miniature golf, and learning artistic skills at Studio Arc, where he is particularly fond of painting with different colors.

Hugo is also very active in The Arc’s Saturday Respite program and frequently takes part in Adult Recreation weekend activities. Some of his favorite events are Zumba, Summerfest at Camp Hope, Hip-Hop Class, and the Brunch Cruise. When asked who he enjoys hanging out with in Arc programs, he smiles and says “everybody.”
