Activities Galore
Field Day was not just about the food; it was an adventure-filled day packed with an array of activities that catered to everyone’s interests and abilities. From a friendly tug-of-war that tested strength and teamwork, to lively games of volleyball that brought out the competitive spirit, there was something for everyone to enjoy. The excitement soared as participants tackled a thrilling obstacle course, their determination shining through as they overcame challenges and embraced the thrill of victory.
For the more creatively inclined, face-painting stations offered an opportunity for self-expression and transformation. From vibrant designs to whimsical characters, faces were adorned with colors, showcasing individuality and sparking joy. Captivating Bubbles danced, while hula hoops twirled and a colorful parachute was lifted into the air evoking laughter and pure happiness.
Familiar Smiles and New Connections
Field Day served as a reunion for many, bringing together friends from Dutchess and Westchester Counties who had shared previous CBS events and activities. The joy of seeing familiar faces and rekindling friendships filled the atmosphere with warmth and a sense of belonging. It was a time to create new memories.
However, the event also welcomed parents and grandparents, introducing them to the inclusive and accepting community that CBS has cultivated. As they enjoyed the festivities, they quickly discovered the incredible spirit and camaraderie that permeated the gathering.
“It is a pleasure to see them out here doing. We have been very happy with CBS.”
The Family Field Day & BBQ at FDR State Park was an extraordinary celebration of unity, friendship, and inclusivity. Amidst the delicious food, thrilling activities, and genuine laughter, everyone was encouraged to shine in their own remarkable way. Field Day is one of the many ways CBS creates an environment where differences are embraced and celebrated, reminding us that everyone has unique talents and abilities to contribute.
