Late Fall Programs in Summit Now Registering Youth With Special Needs

Several programs are now being offered this fall by the Summit Community Programs and coordinated by TryCAN.

Youth with special needs and those who could use just a little help and encouragement are welcome to now register for several programs being offered again this fall by the Summit Community Programs and coordinated by TryCAN.  

Our experienced coaches and instructors are excited to return to help our youth develop skills that may allow them to pursue a sport or activity further or simply provide them with a meaningful recreation experience. 

These popular and affordable classes, open to both residents and non-residents, also use the assistance of trained teen Peer Mentors from local middle and high schools to help participants fully participate in the classes, learn and have fun.
