LOF Adaptive Skiers will be hosting “SKI NEWTOWN,” a water sports event for Newtown children ages 7-18 on Sunday Sept. 21 at Eichler’s Cove Marina on Lake Zoar in Newtown from 9:30AM-3:30AM.
The event is designed to teach beginners how to waterski or wakeboard and help intermediate skiers/boarders advance to the next level.
“We specialize in helping children, adults and veterans with disabilities and special needs ‘soar beyond the boundaries’ through adaptive water sports,” says Joel Zeisler, LOF Adaptive’s Executive Director. “The Newtown community has been incredibly supportive of our efforts this year so we wanted to host an event that was open to all Newtown families with kids. This will be the first time we’ve hosted SKI NEWTOWN and we hope to have a great turn-out.”
Morning waterski and wakeboarding instruction and practice will be followed by an afternoon Tournament. Awards will be given in multiple divisions. The event is free of charge and open to able-bodied as well as disabled children ages 7 to 18.
Advance registration is required. To register, call 203-426-0666 or visit LOFAdaptiveSkiers.org
