What are GroWild Meet-Ups?
Our themed meet-ups are a fun, low-pressure way to connect, play, and explore creative activities together. Each night blends open gym time with optional hands-on experiences like art, games, movement, or STEM challenges. Want to join, great signup for the times you wish to join to hold your space, and we supply the materials and space.
Tuesdays STEM & Solve 6-8pm
Build, move, and discover! STEM & Solve is where brains and bodies team up from DIY builds and creative problem-solving in the gym. Come connect explore science, tech, and teamwork through playful experiments, tinkering, and active fun. Designed for curious minds who like to create, move, and figure things out their own way.
Thursdays: Craft & Create Night 6-8pm
End the week with hands-on creativity and relaxed connection. Each Friday, dive into open-ended artmaking — painting, building, sewing, or crafting with found materials. No pressure, just space to explore your imagination, make cool things, and unwind with friends in a sensory-friendly environment.
Friday Late Night: Teen Night 8-10 pm
When the lights dim, the creativity stays glowing. Teen Night is a chill, social hangout for ages 13–17 with music, self-directed arts and crafts, cozy zones, and space to just be yourself. A safe, judgment-free evening to connect, play, and recharge before the weekend with friends in a sensory-friendly environment.
Adult Night: Second Saturday 8-11 pm
It’s your turn to play! Join us for Adult Night, every second Saturday of the month. Explore the gym, move, join a game, create, and unwind in a sensory-friendly space designed for connection and regulation. Whether you’re a parent, professional, or just need a reset, this night is all about community, laughter, and low-stress fun — no kids, no pressure, just your nervous system getting what it needs.
High Support Needs 6-8pm
A calm, low-occupancy session created for participants who benefit from extra space, predictability, and reduced sensory input. This gentle, flexible environment features no music, a slower pace, and support for natural regulation and connection. Caregivers must stay and provide support, and recreation aides, respite workers, or support staff are welcome.
This is a community session — no outside or billable therapy
Fridays RRP Game Night 6-8pm
Step into a world of imagination! Join our RPG meet-up, where players dive into Dungeons & Dragons and other role-playing adventures. Learn storytelling, teamwork, and strategy — no experience needed, just curiosity and a sense of humor.

We specialize in helping late-diagnosed parents understand their identity, build confidence, and navigate parenting with greater clarity and connection.
