2014 Summer Games

All, Summer Games will be the weekend of May 30 through June 1st at The University of Vermont. There is one important change from prior years, the Friday evening dinner will not be provided in the UVM dinning hall. Instead, each delegation will be providing their own dinner. Chittenden will be providing sub sandwiches Friday evening. As before, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided on Saturday for credentialed individuals. Breakfast and lunch will be provided Sunday for credentialed individuals.

The theme of the Saturday evening Victory Dance is "USA", bring your red white and blue!

For those staying overnight at the UVM dorms, you must bring twin sized bed linen and blanket, pillow, toiletries and towels. Our delegation will be charged for any damage or missing items and also for keys that are not returned. Please be considerate of our host facility and also remember to turn in your keys.

Both the University of Vermont and Special Olympics Vermont are going "Green" so during competition water will be provided in bulk dispensers, please bring your own reusable water bottle to fill. Please make sure your name is on the water bottle!

Competition events will continue in bad weather unless there is thunder or lightning. Please watch the weather forecast and plan accordingly!
