Fall Fest for Families with Special Needs
Sunday, October 23 / 5 - 7 PM
National Park Church is putting on a Fall Fest for families and children with a variety of special needs.
Note: This event is for families with special needs only and the families of National Park Church.
Fall Fest is a non-scary, allergy-aware, handicapped accessible, event for children and adults with special needs to enjoy trick-or-treating.
Information for Participating Families
This event allows all children and adults with special needs to enjoy trick-or-treating.
-
Your child or adult will walk around collecting treats from each car or station; indoor and outdoor.
-
Every station will offer some type of allergy-sensitive treat or a non-food item. Tables will be decorated and volunteers will be dressed in non-scary costumes. There will be limited sounds and decor to avoid too much stimulation.
-
Your child or adult is welcome to come dressed in their costume or without one! We will have a calm area, so if you're not quite ready to leave, but your child or adult needs a moment to calm themselves, you're welcome to use the calming room.
