Summer Connection at the Park (DC Region)

Join us for Summer Connection at the Park, a relaxed outdoor gathering for CAF families living OUTCAN in the DC region.

Whether you come on your own or bring the kids, enjoy a casual summer morning connecting with other Canadian families while children explore Chessie's Big Backyard playground or cool off at the nearby Our Special Harbour Spray Park splash pad. With donuts, snacks, and cold refreshments provided by MFS, it's a comfortable, low-pressure opportunity to meet new people, catch up with familiar faces, and enjoy some time outdoors during the summer break.

Whether you're newly posted or have been part of the community for years, come share stories, build connections, and learn about local programs, resources, and upcoming events available to support your family.
