# Event Details - **Event Name**: Nature-Based Game Group for Social Inclusion - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: Workshop Overview Outdoor Therapeutics is offering a short-term, clinician-led group designed for neurodivergent community members who want a supportive, low-pressure space to connect with others, build confidence in social situations, and feel a sense of belonging. We use cooperative and structured nature-themed board games as a fun, accessible way to practice communication, turn-taking, collaboration, and relationship-building—without forced socializing. Each session offers at least two game options, with clinicians available to guide play, support regulation, and adapt to different comfort levels. Participants are welcome to engage at their own pace. Groups will be offered for two age ranges: one for younger participants (ages 8-16) and one for older teens and adults (ages 17+). Play-based and therapeutic approaches are woven throughout to support learning, connection, and enjoyment. ​​ Program Schedule and Locations Meets for six weeks on Sundays from 2:00-4:00pm EST (Feb 22 - Mar 29, 2026) Adult and youth game rooms will be held at 1705 and 1707 Rosemont Avenue, Frederick, MD 21702 wingspan group_edited.jpg Colorful Dice Setup Your Co-Facilitators Rose Miller, LMSW is a therapist with over five years of experience working with individuals and groups using play-based, experiential, and relational approaches to therapy.
