Youth Track Information
Date: August 24 and August 25, 2024
Location: Hyatt Regency Hotel, Downtown Phoenix - 122 N. 2nd St., Phoenix, AZ 85004
Are you ready to discover what it really means to stand tall, be proud of who we are, and show the world that we belong—no matter what. What’s in Store? Get ready for a jam-packed day of fun! We’ve got games that will test your skills, prizes that you won’t want to miss, and a scavenger hunt that will take you on an epic adventure. But it’s not just about having fun (though there will be plenty of that!). We’re also going to explore what makes us unique, why it’s important to embrace our differences, and how, together, we can make the world a better place. What to Bring? Don’t forget to bring your cane, positivity, and an open mind! If you don’t have a cane yet, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. We’ll provide you with one so you can fully participate in all the activities. So, are you ready to own your dignity and show the world that we all belong? Let’s go make some memories and learn a thing or two while we’re at it!
See you there!
