State Summer Games are held
each May on the Oklahoma State
University campus in Stillwater.
This year marks our
39th Summer Games in Oklahoma.
It is the largest amateur sporting
event in Oklahoma and we
are very proud to say we offer
the largest Summer Games of any
Special Olympics program in
North America right here in
Oklahoma. At a typical
Summer Games, there are
between 3,500 – 4,000 athletes,
1,000 coaches, and
2,400 volunteers at this one event.
