In a refreshing take on community engagement, the Mesa Adaptive Sports and Recreation Program is organizing an exciting outing at Camp Carley. This event will give individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to immerse themselves in the outdoors and enjoy some fun. Located by the serene Lynx Lake South Shore near Prescott, the event seeks to use the tranquility of nature to offer a revitalizing and enjoyable experience for those who deserve it.
The day-long adventure, hosted by the City of Mesa and the City of Chandler, will take place on Saturday, August 17. Kicking off at 8 a.m. and wrapping up at 8 p.m., the event will be set against the vibrant greens and blues of the outdoors. Participants can look forward to a full schedule of activities including fishing, hiking, paddleboarding, as well as arts, crafts, and a picnic-style lunch to cap off the day's fun.
For those unfamiliar, the Mesa Adaptive Sports and Recreation Program is not just a one-off annual jaunt but a conduit for ongoing engagement, opening doors to special interest classes, outdoor recreation, social clubs, off-road productions, in partnership with Mesa Public Schools, fashion shows, and, of course, adaptive sports like bocce, soccer, pickleball, and track and field.
Those who engage in the sportive side of Mesa's offerings may look forward to a training schedule that aligns with the rhythm set by Special Olympics Arizona, ensuring participants are primed for competition. More information about the programming, registration and the eventful horizon offered by Mesa Adaptive Sports and Recreation can be found on the City of Mesa's website.
