Accessibility and Inclusion
For nearly 50 years, we’ve taken a creative and multifaceted approach to accessibility on trips and programs so that everyone can experience the outdoors.
Adventure with Confidence
Adaptive Equipment
Provided adaptive gear helps increase accessibility, promote independence, and support social inclusion, so you can adventure further.
Support Personnel
From Trip Assistants to Personal Care Attendants, we have a team of volunteers eager to provide extra support and adventure alongside you.
Alternative Activities
Accommodations and adaptations are made to itinerary activities to meet the needs, abilities, and interests of anyone who adventures with us.
