The Clubhouse
The Clubhouse
No fancy waiting room. No reception desk. Just a space built for hanging out, building things, and actually connecting — downtown Hickory.
R+cade uses cooperative games, video games, and LEGO building as the vehicle for real social skill development. Clubs are small, structured, and led by a BCBA and facilitated by RBTs every session. Every member is matched to the group that actually fits — by age, social level, and individual goals.
Every club at R+cade is built around doing something real together. All welcome. No tryouts, no labels, no judgment.
Collaborative builds where members negotiate, problem-solve, and create as a team. Less about the LEGO, more about what happens when you figure things out together.
Starts with our free weekly community walk — then members stay for 30 minutes of PVP battles and club trading. All ages, all levels. Show up, catch something, and stay for the competition.
Collaborative tabletop storytelling. Every member has a role — the whole group wins or loses together.
Board games, card games, and tabletop fun. Strategy, sportsmanship, and real connection — no screens required.
A cooperative video gaming club where members work together, strategize as a team, and actually talk to each other.
Collaborative art projects and creative challenges. Make stuff. Share it. Build something together.
Get updates on new clubs, open spots, and events before anyone else.
Every session is built around one thing — doing something real together. Builds, quests, games, conversations. The connection comes with the activity.
Browse the clubs and find your thing. Fill out a short screener and we'll reach out to walk you through membership, answer your questions, and invite you to check out a group. Simple process, real fit.
Every session is structured around a shared activity. You and your squad collaborate, create, and problem-solve together. Groups stay small so every member has a real role — no benchwarmers.
While you're focused on the activity, we're tracking your growth behind the scenes. Members and families get quarterly progress reports on what's actually developing.
As you grow, so does your place here — new groups, new connections, and a community that sticks beyond any single week.
The activity is the method — connection is the reward. Every member has their own goals tracked over time, and families get quarterly progress reports on what's actually developing.
R+cade runs ongoing weekly groups — no waiting for a season to start. When there's a good fit and space in the right group, you're in. Membership is how we make sure every member gets more than just a chair in the room.
90-minute weekly groups, ongoing enrollment. Show up every week or as often as works for you. No season start dates, no locked-in cohorts — just your group, your schedule.
Ready to see if it's a good fit? Fill out our short screener and we'll reach out to talk through next steps. No waiting for an enrollment window — just a quick conversation to find the right fit.
No fancy waiting room. No reception desk. Just a space built for hanging out, building things, and actually connecting — downtown Hickory.
R+cade is a social clubhouse run by BACB-certified staff — BCBAs and RBTs — who believe the best way to build social skills is to actually do things together. The activity is the method. The connection is the point.
Our programs are grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis — but R+cade is not ABA therapy. No discrete trials, no clinical setting, no insurance billing. The difference: at R+cade, the activity is the reinforcement. Members aren't working toward connection — they're building it through what they're already doing.
We work alongside your existing providers. R+cade complements ABA therapy, OT, speech, vocational rehab, and other supports. We're happy to collaborate on goals and align our work with what's already happening. Just ask.
"Members don't build social skills by talking about them. They build them by playing together."
Two ways to get connected — enroll in a club or get on our list for updates, new clubs, and events.
