Sensory Retreat Tent
There will be a lot of people at the park on the day of the event. If you are feeling anxious or overwhelmed, please visit our “Sensory Retreat Tent” that will be located near the Farmhouse. The tent is a quiet space where you can relax, play with our fidgets and get away from the larger group.
We encourage you to bring your own noise reduction headphones if you have them.
