OHEL Bais Ezra’s Annual Chol Haomoed Adventure Brings Smiles to Children and Respite to Parents!

This Chol Hamoed Pesach, over 70 individuals from OHEL Bais Ezra’s many day programs enjoyed fun and excitement at 6 Flags Great Adventure!

The children with various developmental disabilities, who were accompanied by a team of OHEL volunteers and professionals, came from throughout the 5 boroughs and got to hang out in the wonderful sun, go on scary and exciting rides, and even say hello to some of their favorite cartoon characters!

The abilities and needs of each child were attended to, with some enjoying the fast roller coasters, others the less intimidating rides, and some groups who just enjoyed walking around the park, shopping, and watching the great shows offered by the theme park.

All in all it was a day of sun, fun, and a lot of picture taking when everybody got to meet their favorite cartoon characters at the park, and see some of their favorite movies come to life on the rides.

OHEL Bais Ezra provides a range of innovative programs and services for those with developmental disabilities. The Chol Hamoed trip is part of OHEL’s many recreational and respite programs throughout the year for children and individuals aged 5-21.
