Welcome
Upper Valley Connection was started in
the summer of 2001 because one young man with Down Syndrome got to
play baseball once—and talked about it for a year before he got to play
again. We are a recreation program
for youth and young adults with different abilities who live in the
Wenatchee Valley
of North Central Washington State. We believe that everyone ought to have the chance to have meaningful interactions with his or her peers, whether while playing baseball, putting on a play, or simply hanging out with a movie and popcorn.

With bells-a-jingling and Ross's crazy jokes, this is always a fun day, finished off with hot cocoa and cookies in a lovely, warm teepee. We had perfect weather and the bi-lingual turkeys were a-gobbling for us! |
