I hope today brings you some time to relax, reflect, and maybe even sneak in a round of golf or a dip in the pool with your kids. There’s nothing quite like those simple moments, laughing in the golf cart, catching a ball, or just being together without distractions.
As a dad, some of my best memories with my kids have come through sports and recreation. Whether it’s getting a workout in with Sam, going for a swim with Ben, or all of us catching a baseball game, these are the moments that stay with me. With Ben, especially, we’ve found our rhythm through recreation. It’s where we bond, without the need for too many words, just being together.
That’s why I’m so proud of what we do at Els for Autism. Our recreation programs at Els for Autism are designed to create those very same moments for families like ours.
Whether it’s swinging a golf club, shooting hoops, or simply enjoying time in the pool, we’re creating ways for parents to connect with their children in a meaningful way.
And we re ready to take our recreation program to the next level with the groundbreaking of our Specialized Autism Friendly
Recreation Complex. It will include everything from a gymnasium to an Aquatic Center, where kids and adults with autism can learn to swim and build confidence in the water.
We want to create opportunities for families to come together, connect, and create their own unforgettable memories, just like I do with Sam and Ben.
If you haven’t seen what we’re building, check out our plans on the Els for Autism website. I think you’ll be just as excited as we are!
Here’s to slowing down, soaking in the moments, and celebrating the incredible bond between father and child.
