Snow Tubing Day - This annual event, sponsored by CAS, is for anyone who loves to play in the snow. We have partnered with “Tubes R Us”, specialists in tubing located off I-80 in Soda Springs, to host a day of snow tubing on a privately reserved hill top. Families are welcome to come out and snow tube down the hill, build a snowman or sit by the fire inside the lodge while enjoying a warm cup of hot chocolate. This event occurs in February. Check our website during the months of January and February for dates and times, as well as registration information, each year. 

Summer Splash Water-Ski Day – Capitol Autism Services and Sacramento Water Ski Club have partnered to sponsor an annual event of fun on the water.  Held on a small, privately owned lake 15 minutes from downtown Sacramento, it is a day of waterski instruction, water tubing, kneeboard and boat riding for individuals 5-18 years of age on the autism spectrum.  Staff and volunteers from these organizations are on hand to support those individuals capable of engaging in sports activities with assistance. The day typically consists of four, two hour sessions for up to 8 individuals per session. Refreshments are served throughout the event, which is held in Clarksburg, CA at Lake Winchester. This event typically occurs in July/August.

Thank You Day - Thank You Day is a day that has been designated to recognize and support families with children with autism, to allow them the opportunities to meet and network with other families, enjoy their children, and receive information and resources on services and products designed to assist with their daily lives. With entertainment and activities, food and drink, families are celebrated for their endless dedication to their children with autism. This event is co-sponsored by local vendors and occurs in August.
