There
are millions of Americans under the age of 18 with some form
of physical disability. Adaptive Adventures takes pride in
creating sports & recreation opportunities
for youth by providing access to the outdoors and helping
families work toward inclusion in their local communities.
Our programs for children have been growing at over 50% per
year, with over 300 disabled kids participating in nearly
1000 lessons last year.
 We
maintain and grow an extensive inventory of adaptive sports
equipment to accommodate the growing number of youth participants
in our programs. Our experienced team is readily available
to insure safety, proper equipment fit, and expert instruction.
A large percentage of our staff and volunteers are disabled,
and serve as positive role models for our young participants.
Adaptive
Adventures works in collaboration with many youth-oriented
organizations to help improve and expand existing programs.
Some of the groups we provided resources to in the past year
include: Colorado Jr. Wheelchair Sports Camp, Dreams for Kids,
Ski for Light, Out & About, Great Lakes Adaptive Sports
Association, Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Sports &
Fitness, and Parks & Recreation Programs in Denver, Boulder,
Evergreen, Greely, and Fort Collins, Colorado.
