Community Events
Tournament in the Tundra
CCRI has teamed up with Suite Shots for a one-of-a-kind event guaranteed to be the highlight of the winter! This nine event tournament features a variety of fun sports such as baseball, football, hockey, and, of course, golf. This is not only fun for all ages and skill levels, but supports a great cause!
Proceeds will build a safe and accessible home for Joel, David, Buck, and Gary that will meet their needs through all stages of their lives.
Join us on February 9 and help us build a forever home for these four best friends!
TableScapes
TableScapes is an annual fundraising event that celebrates creativity. Local designers create unique table designs that are truly a work of art. The event is a perfect metaphor for the people we support. Just like our table designs, everyone we serve has a unique personality and their own unique needs, unlike anyone else. CCRI has made our reputation on providing services that are customized for each individual, regardless of their needs. Similar to our table designers, our teams come up with creative ideas, which are often unconventional, with one goal in mind—to enhance people’s lives.
If you have questions about the event, contact Adam Schroeder at Adam.Schroeder@CreativeCare.org.
FM Crusaders Bike Show Auctions
The FM Crusaders Motorcycle Club has once again chosen CCRI’s Camp HERO (Helping Everyone Remove Obstacles) as the beneficiary of their annual live and silent auctions.
The money from the auctions will be used for Camp HERO scholarships. These scholarships ensure that people with disabilities on a low fixed income can experience the joys of camp.
The focus of Camp HERO is to create opportunities for individual growth, learning and increased independence. Activities are an important part of the learning process, as well as FUN! Camp HERO has a supportive environment which fosters social and personal growth. It is a community experience that involves people laughing and engaging with one another. At camp people develop an enhanced self-esteem which carries over into all aspects of our lives. It is an amazing experience.
Activities
Camp HERO
Camp HERO (named for the goal of Helping Everyone Remove Obstacles) is an annual, three-day summer camp available to individuals served by CCRI. It’s a place where people of every ability and age can have fun and enjoy the outdoors.
Camp HERO has become a popular activity among the people we serve. It began in 1994 with 14 campers. By 2004, 58 campers enjoyed a great camping experience. Today, we fill the camp’s entire sleeping capacity of more than 100 for the camp!
Camp HERO offers boating, fishing, horse riding, swimming, crafts and many more individualized activities. Outside of Camp HERO, these activities are frequently denied to those with disabilities because of the time and cost involved to make it a safe experience.
CCRI provides staff trained to work with individuals who have a disability. The Camp HERO team is an enthusiastic group of men and women who are selected for their interest and dedication to helping people. CCRI’s medical personnel also attend camp to ensure that it is a safe and healthy experience for everyone.
Camp Activities:
- Nature Walks
- Horseback Riding
- Campfires
- Fishing
- Relaxing with Friends
- Making Crafts
- Boat Rides
- Swimming
The fees only cover part of the costs of this expensive endeavor. Donations allow us to offset the costs so people of all income levels can enjoy camp. Your cash gift can help ensure that these services are available for future clients.

Red River Valley Adaptive Softball
CCRI is the proud organizer of the Red River Adaptive Softball League, open to anyone with a disability. Our focus is on the value of the age-old adage: It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.
League Mission:
The purpose of this league is to provide people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in softball. This participation is directed towards normalization for all athletes. Normalization occurs through minimal adaptations while following the Official ASA Rulebook for Softball.
League Goals:
- Provide access to community programs and facilities.
- Provide age-appropriate recreational programs.
- Provide opportunities for enjoyment through physical activity.
- Provide experiences requiring appropriate social skills.
The bottom line: We are here to have FUN!
Come and Watch the Action! If you want to make your day, attend and watch the fun and enthusiasm participants bring to the game. Games are played during summer on Sunday evenings at Centennial Softball complex (15th Ave. N, Moorhead) on the south side of the road on the east four-diamond complex, fields 1–4.
