The NSCD’s new Adaptive Program Center, located at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, recently opened its doors. To commemorate the occasion, a Field Day event was held with over 100 Aurora Public School students in attendance, along with representatives from The Hartford, Move United, Jefferson County Officials and Denver Broncos alumni.
During the Field Day event, students had the chance to participate in various activities such as an obstacle course, archery and try out adaptive cycles as part of the launch of the new adaptive program. The NSCD received a $50,000 grant from The Hartford to purchase new adaptive cycles for the program.
Julie Taulman, president and CEO of the NSCD, spoke about the importance of socializing with others and trying out different sports and activities. She emphasized that the location of the new program center provides a safe and convenient space for people to enjoy outdoor activities. The center offers 100 acres of land with easy access to miles of trails for programs and lessons offered during the spring, summer and fall.
The NSCD’s new Adaptive Program Center is designed to provide individuals with disabilities an opportunity to engage in sports and outdoor activities in a safe and inclusive environment.
