The National Sports Center for the Disabled recently opened its new NSCD Adaptive Program Center at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. The event featured a Field Day where over 100 Aurora Public School students, along with representatives from The Hartford, Move United, Jefferson County Officials, and Denver Broncos alumni, attended.
During the Field Day, students had the opportunity to participate in various activities such as going through an obstacle course, trying out archery at the range, and testing adaptive cycles for the launch of the new adaptive program. The NSCD received a $50,000 grant from The Hartford, which was used to acquire new adaptive cycles for the cycling program.
Julie Taulman, the president and CEO of the NSCD, mentioned that the new program center is a convenient location for people to experience outdoor activities in a safe environment. With 100 acres of land and access to miles of trails, individuals will have ample opportunities to engage in a variety of sports and activities throughout the year. The goal is to encourage individuals to stay active and promote healthy lifestyles by offering programs and lessons during the spring, summer, and fall seasons.
