Join us as we kick off summer with our annual Summer Picnic! On Saturday, June 13, DSNMC will gather at Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg (at the picnic pavilions; look for the ballons!). The park features plenty of space to play, basketball and tennis courts, and a large playground. We'll have many games and activities to keep everyone engaged, as well as lunch and snacks to keep us energized. This is a great opportunity to both connect with old friends and make new ones with over 200 people expected to attend!
NEW for 2026! In partnership with Open Door Sports, DSNMC will host a field day prior the the picnic! From 9:30 to 11:00 AM (the picnic begins at 11:30!) kids ages 5 to 13 are invited to participate at no additional cost!
This high-energy, structured program is designed for youth of all abilities to engage in fun, movement-based activities that build confidence, teamwork, and social connection. Participants will rotate through a variety of adaptive sports stations led by trained coaches, with activities thoughtfully designed to meet a wide range of skill levels and support needs.
Participants will be provided a 1-on-1 buddy to safely engage in activities. Caregivers are welcome to remain on-site, and participants who require additional support (including toileting and eloping) should plan to have a caregiver or aide present.
Note: Due to our expected high attendance, the picnic shelter reserved for this event will not accommodate everyone in our group. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs.

¡Únase a nosotros para dar inicio al verano con nuestro Picnic Anual de Verano! El sábado 13 de junio, DSNMC se reunirá en Bohrer Park en Gaithersburg (en los pabellones de picnic; ¡busque los globos!). El parque cuenta con mucho espacio para jugar, canchas de baloncesto y tenis, y un gran parque infantil. Tendremos muchos juegos y actividades para mantener a todos entretenidos, además de almuerzo y refrigerios para mantenernos con energía. ¡Esta es una gran oportunidad para reencontrarse con viejos amigos y hacer nuevos, con más de 200 personas esperadas!
¡NUEVO para 2026! En colaboración con Open Door Sports, DSNMC organizará un día de campo antes del picnic. De 9:30 a 11:00 AM (¡el picnic comienza a las 11:30!), los niños de 5 a 13 años están invitados a participar sin costo adicional.
Este programa estructurado y lleno de energía está diseñado para que jóvenes de todas las habilidades participen en actividades divertidas basadas en el movimiento que fomentan la confianza, el trabajo en equipo y la conexión social. Los participantes rotarán por varias estaciones de deportes adaptados dirigidas por entrenadores capacitados, con actividades diseñadas cuidadosamente para apoyar una amplia variedad de niveles de habilidad y necesidades de apoyo.
Cada participante contará con un acompañante individual (1 a 1) para participar de manera segura en las actividades. Los cuidadores pueden permanecer en el lugar, y aquellos participantes que requieran apoyo adicional (incluyendo asistencia con el baño o tendencia a alejarse) deben asistir acompañados por un cuidador o asistente.
Nota: Debido a la alta asistencia esperada, el refugio/pabellón reservado para este evento no podrá acomodar a todo nuestro grupo. Se recomienda a los asistentes traer mantas y sillas.
