  • A variety of open play opportunities, including:
    • Imaginative art activities
    • Basketball court access with basketballs for free play
    • Fun obstacle courses designed for kids of all abilities
  • A resource table with information and supports for families
  • Snacks and bottled water available throughout the event
  • A chance to build positive memories and connections in a fun, relaxed setting

Staff support at the event includes:

  • Encouraging and supporting parent–child engagement
  • Helping dads connect with one another
  • Offering a friendly, listening ear for questions or emotional support

This event is about connection, growth, and joy — giving dads intentional space to play, laugh, and engage with their children while fostering community and support around the shared journey of parenting children with special needs.
