Craven County

Welcome to Special Olympics Craven County!

Special Olympics North Carolina partners with Craven County Parks & Recreation to run the local Special Olympics program in Craven County. It is our pleasure to serve the citizens of Craven County in providing a fun and safe experience as they compete, coach, volunteer and cheer. Special Olympics has been offered in Craven County for over 40 years.

More than 300 athletes participate in local and state level competitions in Olympic-type sports such as bowling, basketball, bocce, volleyball, equestrian and more. There is a place for everyone…Get involved today!

Young Athletes

In a partnership between Craven County Parks & Rec and City of New Bern Parks & Rec, Special Olympics Craven County is excited to announce the Young Athletes Day Play Program starting this summer!

This inclusive early childhood sports and educational play program for children aged 2 to 7 years old, with and without intellectual disabilities, and includes games, songs and other fun, physical activities. With an emphasis on training and participation through activities and play, rather than competition, young athletes will learn basic sports skills like kicking and throwing a ball, and playing with others. Young Athletes™ also provides children with gross motor skills training, group interaction and socialization opportunities.
