These programs will feature an adapted sport powered by our new partner, Can Play, combined with fitness and exercise programming, and are designed to support individuals with varying abilities and other special healthcare needs through inclusive, structured, and engaging recreation.
Bocce Ball: SMASR Adapted Sport and Recreation and Charles County Therapeutic Recreation are partnering to bring adaptive sports to our disability community! For early fall, bocce will serve as the featured sport. Participants will learn the fundamentals of bocce through skill development, teamwork, and friendly competition, with the session culminating in a tournament experience. In addition to bocce, participants will also have opportunities to discover all the fun activities and recreational features the park has to offer, creating a fun, active, and inclusive experience focused on movement, friendship, and community.
