Swim Party
One of the favorites is a pool party in August at the Huntington YMCA Kennedy Center. The pool is rented exclusively for individuals with autism, their families, friends, and care providers. Activities are centered around swimming, games, eating, and just having fun in the sun. Life guards are on duty for the event.
Halloween Party
In October we dress up like ghosts and goblins at our annual Halloween party. We play games, provide crafts, and as always enjoy a delicious holiday meal. The kids enjoy walking away with costume prizes and goodie bags. The party is held at the Autism Service’s Center building on Commerce Avenue.
