Summer Social: Pool Party for families of children with Down syndrome ages 5-17
We invite individuals with Down syndrome ages 5–17 and their families to join us for a fun-filled pool party at the Tom Muehlenbeck Recreation Center! The pool features exciting amenities including waterslides, water basketball, volleyball and a splash pad. Youth and teens can enjoy the outdoor pool alongside their families and connect with other members of the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas.
DSG will provide cheese and pepperoni pizza, along with drinks. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, please plan to bring your own food.
Space is limited and registration is required by Tuesday, June 23, or until the event is full.
