CommuniKeys Programming Calendar

Our summer programming schedule is updated regularly as we coordinate staff availability, student needs, partner opportunities, weather, transportation, and community-based experiences.

​

We do our best to plan calendar dates at least two weeks in advance, but details may shift as programs are finalized. Please check this calendar often for the most current information.

​

Families are also encouraged to subscribe to the calendar so updates appear automatically as programming changes are made.

SUNDAY SOUND GARDEN:
A Keys for CommuniKeys Concert Fundraiser

Sunday Sound Garden is a community concert series benefiting CommuniKeys and creating a welcoming, sensory-aware space for music, connection, and public participation.

​

For CommuniKeys, this event is more than a fundraiser. It is an opportunity to model what inclusive community gathering can look like when sensory access, communication differences, family participation, and adult dignity are considered from the start.

Events like Sunday Sound Garden help build visibility, relationships, and belonging for non-speaking autistic adults in the broader community.

​

Join us at The Lyric Outdoor Venue for live sets and album-release music from Colorado musicians, with proceeds supporting communication, participation, and belonging.

​

Sensory regulation space and headphones will be available.

​

Quick event details

​

  • Sunday, August 9

  • 4:00–9:00 PM

  • The Lyric Outdoor Venue | Fort Collins

  • $25 ticket

  • Food and drinks available for purchase

SEED TO SALSA - Program

Seed to Salsa is part of CommuniKeys’ Grow and Gather learning pathway. Students participate in the full process of growing, tending, harvesting, preparing, and sharing food in community.

​

This work supports communication, purposeful movement, sensory regulation, daily living skills, responsibility, and real-world participation. Rather than treating gardening as a one-time outing, CommuniKeys uses Seed to Salsa as a scaffolded experience where students can build familiarity, contribute meaningfully, and participate with dignity.
