DSAW-Central
DSAW Central was out in full force on June 28th, cheering on the Wausau Woodchucks baseball team as they took on the Green Bay Rockers! The Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin's Central chapter hosted a fantastic outing, allowing families to enjoy America's favorite pastime. With reserved box seats, hot dogs, and sodas, it was a day of community spirit and lively baseball action at Athletic Park!
DSAW-Chippewa Valley
DSAW-Chippewa Valley braved the weather to tour Pondview Lavender Farm!
It was super hot and humid and then we were afraid it would rain... but the wind was refreshing and the buildings air conditioned. It was actually a really nice day, with lots of interesting lavender facts...Plus the SMELLS!!! And the lavender lemonade!! It was quite wonderful!
DSAW-Fox Cities
What a fun-filled month we had in June!
We kicked things off by teaming up with our friends from the Green Bay chapter for an unforgettable day at Bay Beach Amusement Park! Families enjoyed rides, laughs, and time together, it's always great when our chapters can come together to build community.
Later in the month, we had a blast at Badger Sports Park, where our families took over the batting cages, go-karts, mini golf course, laser-tag, arcade games and more. It was a perfect summer evening full of smiles and energy!
Sadly our pool party was cancelled due to weather but has been rescheduled for August 2nd, 6-8PM, we hope to see you there!

In June, we finally moved into our NEW building! We are thrilled to have our own brick-and-mortar facility in Glenbeulah, WI. We are working hard to get it prepared for our Community Open House on August 6th!
We hosted our first ever event at the building and our teens loved it! They helped us spruce up the place by planting some beautiful flowers in the front.

On June 10, families gathered for Game Night at the Janesville Library. Then, on June 17, we explored the MacKenzie Center in Poynette, where we visited rescue animals and conducted a hands-on pond study.
June 22 was a busy day with two exciting events: Moms & Me of Rock went bowling in Janesville, while another group enjoyed MJ: The Musical at the Overture Center in Madison.
We wrapped up the month on a high note—first by cheering on Forward Madison FC on June 28, and then with a fun-filled Potluck & Pool Party in Janesville on June 29.

Community Life Skills Hub - South Central
The DSAW-South Central Chapter has been busy creating fun and meaningful experiences for members of all ages! Our day program participants launched baking soda and vinegar rockets, helped package gift bags for our upcoming golf outing, and enjoyed a sunny walk to Culver’s for ice cream treats. Teens in our Career & Self-Discovery program also got creative by making their own ice cream desserts. Meanwhile, Rock County Teen Club members soaked up summer fun at the brand-new Palmer Pool in Janesville!
NE: Programming Updates
DSAW-Green Bay has had a busy and exciting summer so far! We wrapped up SPARK Connections and DSAWellness Classes in June to make way for our Summer Programming, but don’t worry—they’ll be back this fall. Green Bay also launched its first paid SPARK Connections class for ages 8–17, with four participants meeting every Monday evening to connect and grow together, and plans are already underway for future sessions.
Our 12 Weeks of Extraordinary Adventures Summer Programming is in full swing, with strong attendance and plenty of fun-filled activities! The Skills Training Academy (our Adult Day Program) is thriving, recently fundraising for a trip to Bay Beach—and earning more than expected so they can plan even more exciting outings. We’re also welcoming several adults who are joining us just for the summer months.
On top of that, we’ve been able to maintain our 1:1 Services more consistently than in past summers, ensuring individuals get the personalized support they need. It’s shaping up to be one of our best summers yet!
