The NSCD Adaptive Program Center, located at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, recently opened its doors to the public. To celebrate this momentous occasion, a Field Day event was held with over 100 Aurora Public School students, representatives from The Hartford, Move United, Jefferson County Officials, and Denver Broncos alumni in attendance.
During the Field Day event, participants had the opportunity to take part 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 during her address at the Field Day event. She emphasized that the location of the new program center provides a safe and convenient space for people to enjoy outdoor activities. With 100 acres of land and easy access to miles of trails, programs and lessons offered during the spring, summer, and fall are sure to be a hit.
Overall, 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.
