Santa Barbara Special Olympics offers a wide variety of sports throughout the year. Events and activities take place monthly and include training schools, sports camps, conferences, workshops, and competitions held throughout Southern California. Through sports training and competition, people with developmental disabilities grow physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. Families are brought together and strengthened, and the community as a whole gains in understanding through the shared commitment to these individuals.
