But if I cannot win,
let me be brave in the attempt."

Special Olympics Oath



Welcome to the Calvert County Special Olympics Website. Our Special Olympics program is a year-round sports program for Calvert County children and adults with opportunities to grow for everyone!

Our mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for citizens with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.

Our vision is to help bring Special Olympics athletes into the larger society under conditions whereby they are accepted, respected and given the chance to become useful and productive citizens.

The following six values guide all decisions and actions taken by Directors, volunteers, and athlets.
