Overview
 Adaptive Adventures is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization working to advance the quality of life of people with disabilities through outdoor sports and recreation. Headquartered in Colorado, the agency identifies, promotes and provides progressive sports and recreation opportunities for children and adults with physical disabilities.
Founded by a group of physically challenged individuals in 1999, the agency saw a need to increase awareness and participation in disabled sports and recreation for people of all ages. The agency has a steadfast vision to one day meet the needs of the entire family. Driven by its belief in ‘freedom through mobility’ and core values of affordability, independence, and leadership Adaptive Adventures plays an active role in the community as a contributor and as a benefactor. In addition, current events have created a focus on paving the way for soldiers with disabilities to realize a better quality of life.
Today, with the addition of a Chicago satellite, Adaptive Adventures is an emerging national leader in adaptive cycling, water-skiing, paddling, winter sports, and youth programs. Additionally, the agency has focused on enhancing its Information Resource Center, an online, information portal designed to deliver information, support and resources to anybody interested in the world of adaptive sports and recreation.
