Summer Picnic

Since 1990, Families Exploring Down Syndrome has hosted a summer picnic. Members, and their families and friends, enjoy an afternoon of good food and fun. There are games and prizes for the kids. The adults enjoy making new connections, or reconnecting, in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. It is an enjoyable day for all, and we hope you will join us at our next picnic.
