Unified programs are intended to foster physical activity, independence, self-confidence and teamwork as participants develop new skill-sets with support from staff/volunteers. Participants who may not thrive in a traditional sports-team/league setting may benefit from the Unified Programs. Unified programs are open to children/young adults. This program will start in late November.
