We are able to advance their quality of life through year-round outdoor sports and recreation. Our programs offer opportunities for people with physical disabilities including, but not limited to: amputations, paraplegia, quadriplegia, birth defects, cerebral palsy, head injuries, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, strokes and visual impairments.

Our programs, expert staff and dedicated volunteers -- many who are also physically challenged -- have allowed us to establish ourselves as a nationwide leader in the world of adaptive sports and recreation. Our knowledgeable and experienced team is a known resource to therapists, rehabilitation hospitals, parks and recreation departments and peer organizations.
