Join us July 11th, 2026 at Lewisville Park at the Juniper location for the SWWDSC Summer Social. Our Summer social is designed to bring our community together in a relaxed, joyful, and welcoming environment. These gatherings create opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families to connect, build friendships, and simply enjoy time together.
From outdoor fun and shared meals to laughter filled activities and meaningful conversations, each event is created with the intention to foster belonging, confidence, and connection. This is a space where everyone is seen, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are. We will be severing burger and hotdog and ask that you provide a potluck style dish to bring for the fun.
Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning to familiar faces, our summer events are about creating memories, strengthening community, and embracing the beauty of coming together.
There is no cost to join this event, please register with the number of members in your family that you will be bringing.
