Sat01JunDisabled Hikers | Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement (STALM) Community Gathering

Organized by Disabled Hikers

through (PDT) Lake Sammamish State Park

Disabled Hikers and the Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement are collaborating on an event to bring together people in Lake Sammamish Park.

About the event: Disabled Hikers (DH) and the Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement (STALM) are collaborating on an event to bring together people in Lake Sammamish Park. We will spend time hanging out in community, stroll and roll paved paths together, see a great blue heron or bald eagle (or maybe just some crows – we’re not picky), and enjoy the sun or sit in the shade. This event is open to all Disabled/chronically ill/neurodivergent people, LGBTQ+ people, Black, Indigenous, and people of color, and other community members. Supportive family, friends, and caregivers are also welcome. It is required that you wear a mask (unless your disability prevents it). There are playgrounds for kids to play in as well throughout the park.

Full event details, including meeting location, will be emailed to you.

Trail Description:

There are many paved and gravel paths in the park with generally gentle grades. It is generally wheelchair accessible with paved routes from the parking area and to the bathrooms. We will most likely enjoy the Tibbets Creek trail together, a 0.5 mile paved trail that travels along Tibbets Creek to the beach. Here is a photo of the trail. Note: We will have verified accessibility information by May 20th. We will adjust the hike based on everyone’s needs, and you are not required to complete the hike. The group hikes together; we adapt the hike to match the needs of everyone present, rest when needed, and make decisions about when to turn back as a group.

We will also have time for socializing and hanging out at the picnic area. The Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement will share information about the park and the importance of mindful and accessible recreation. Free swag from STALM and DH!

Amenities: Accessible toilets with running water are located near the parking lot and the building where we will start the group hike. There are picnic benches at the meeting location - we recommend bringing a collapsible chair if you will need to sit throughout. Please also bring water bottles.

Pets: Service animals are always welcome. Pets are discouraged to reduce potential conflicts and accessibility issues.

Parking: Paved parking with van-accessible parking spots

Transit: The 271 Metro Bus will take you from the Issaquah Transit Center to the NW Sammamish RD & 15th Pl NW bust stop right outside the park. There is a .4 mile walk from the entrance into the park to the meet up area. We may be able to provide transportation from the bus stop if needed - please select that option when registering.

Cost: Free. A Discover Pass is required to park in Lake Sammamish Park. Disabled Hikers will have Discover Passes available for anyone who needs one.

About Snoqualmie Tribe Ancestral Lands Movement:

The Ancestral Lands Movement seeks to spread awareness of the Snoqualmie people who have lived in the southern Salish Sea region since time immemorial. The Ancestral Lands Movement shares the significance of these lands to the Snoqualmie and provides information and accessible opportunities for all individuals to help the Tribe in respecting, restoring, and protecting these lands.

Disabled Hikers supports and upholds the Tribe’s urging to engage with their ancestral lands in a reciprocal, rather than consumptive, manner. It is important that participants take time to learn more about the space in which we are gathering, so that we may be present in that space in a mindful and respective manner. We invite you to integrate land acknowledgement and respect for the Snoqualmie Tribe into their recreational practices and experiences.

In the traditional Snoqualmie sdukʷalbixʷ Lushootseed language, the place name for Lake Sammamish is sqʷawx̌ x̌ačuʔ You can listen to a recording and hear the pronunciation on our website.

Mon22JulScuba Camp for Special Needs Children

Organized by Scuba 4 Good

through (EDT) Sunrise Civic Center Aquatic Complex

This is a week long event starting on July 22nd and ending on July 26th.

Kids SCUBA Camp is a week-long program for children ages 10-17 developing fundamental knowledge and skills to safely SCUBA dive in the open ocean. Sponsored by SCUBA4Good and Aquanauts SCUBA Academy, your child will finish up the week with not only a lifetime SCUBA certification, but will also have knowledge of marine conservation. In an age where everything is on e-learning and distance learning, we provide the full experience for your children with in-classroom development and individualized attention from a well-qualified instructor and volunteers as needed for your child’s special attention needs. Just after becoming immersed in practical SCUBA lessons and theory of the underwater environment you’ll be prepared to dive the oceans confidently and safely. Once completed you’ll be capable to go explore and discover new dive sites around the world in “Aquatic Adventures”. Not only is this camp great for their socialization and wonderful exercise. Breathing on the compressed air at depth provides for an increase in the production serotonin delivered to the spine. This results in increased mobility, lessened pain, and elevated mood. It is great for people with spinal cord injuries, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, and so many more impairments both physical and mental.Let your child explore the freedom of the ocean!Scholarships are on a first-come, first-served basis and eligibility.

The USAWFL brings together highly trained coaches with passionate athletes, building skills and imspiring athletes to excel both on and off the field though teamwork, dedication and resilience. The GLASA Chicago Bears Wheelchair Football team will hold tryouts and practices to prepare for competition against other teams throughout the nation.
The game of wheelchair football is typically played on a standard basketball court following similar rules to the able-bodied game of American football. Modifications are made to the rules based on court size, number and ability level of players participating. Players will work on quick and powerful movements, such as cutting, blocking, sprinting and tackling (two-hand touch), which will assist with building cardiovascular and muscular strength.For individuals who are ambulatory (walk upright), utilize a manual or power wheelchair or have no disability, all are welcome. Sports chairs will be available to all players.
For additional information about wheelchair football, contact GLASA Program Manager Mac Stevenson [email protected] or call the office at 847-283-0908.
