Ages 2-5 will LINE UP at 6:30pm and then be escorted on to the field.
Ages 6-12 will LINE UP at 7:15pm and then be escorted on to the field.
Participants will will walk from the line up location, and be escorted across the first two soccer fields to the far soccer fields (closest to the road). Candy Hunters, will then line up on the painted line between the orange flags. They will wait until staff gives the signal, the field lights turning off on THEIR field to start the hunt! Volunteers will ensure that no one starts before they are allowed.
**Remember - if you want your children to "hunt" together - they have to age UP.If you have a 5yr old and a 9yr old and you want to keep them together, then they will both hunt on the 9-12 field.
What is the ADAPTIVE FIELD???
The Adapted Candy Hunt Field designed for children ages 2 - 12 who may need a little more time, support, or space to enjoy the fun of gathering candy!
To make things easier for everyone, we’ll also have candy grabbers and balance support tools available to help kiddos reach candy and move around safely.
This field will be supported by amazing volunteers from Special Olympics Area 17 athletes, Compass staff, and the Reimagining Recreation team from CCPR.
We kindly ask that families be mindful and considerate when choosing this field. This space is intended for children who benefit from additional support, so everyone has a fair and joyful chance to participate.
Let’s make this a fun, inclusive experience for all!
Each field will have a "Golden Pumpkin" or two. The child that finds the golden pumpkin will get a special prize to be collected from the CCPR tent closest to the soccer fields.
Spooky Photos will be available on the field (wind dependent) - bring your own camera.
Event Map will be posted to Facebook / our website the week of the event.
