What is the Adaptive Field?
We’re excited to offer an Adapted Candy Hunt Field designed for children ages 2 to 12 who may need a little more time, support, or space to enjoy the fun of gathering candy!
To make things easier for everyone, we’ll also have candy grabbers and balance support tools available to help kiddos reach candy and move around safely.
This field will be supported by amazing volunteers from Special Olympics Area 17 athletes, Compass staff, and the Reimagining Recreation team from CCPR.
We kindly ask that families be mindful and considerate when choosing this field. This space is intended for children who benefit from additional support, so everyone has a fair and joyful chance to participate.
Let’s make this a fun, inclusive experience for all!
