In
2007, Adaptive Adventures - Chicago is making kayaking
our primary focus for summer program growth. We will
look to continue a productive partnership with Kayak Chicago. Additionally, we have completed the
outfitting of our own equipment trailer with a dozen
kayaks available for use with local non-profit and community
partners and participants. We are implementing a fundraising
campaign to purchase additional equipment and expand
program opportunities next season. Our mission is to
make kayaking available to everyone.
Increasingly,
people with disabilities are discovering kayaking as
a recreational activity. Using standard and/or adapted
equipment, many people with disabilities can kayak on
a "level paddling field" with their non-disabled
peers. Since our inception in 1999, Adaptive Adventures
has been involved in adapting kayaking to offer experiential
and instructional paddling opportunities for people
with disabilities! Through our programs, people with
disabilities and their families can enjoy everything
from more peaceful adventures like lake kayaking, to
high adventure like whitewater kayaking. Whatever your
adventure dream may be, we can help you reach it. |
