Our integrated summer programs serve about 400 people with disabilities and approximately the same number of their families and friends.
Water Ski Instruction: We teach water-skiing at various venues. Adaptive equipment allows us to accommodate those unable to ski in a standing position including paraplegics and some quadriplegics.
Adaptive Cycling: Disabled Sports USA Far West holds outings at various regional locations for families to participate in entry-level physical activities by using adaptive hand cycles and tandem bicycles.
White Water Rafting: Experienced guides and trained volunteers safely guide rafts through the waters of the scenic South Fork of the American River, site of the gold discovery that triggered the gold rush. The raft trips are for people with disabilities and their families or friends. Beginning white water provides challenge and thrills while building camaraderie, confidence, and teamwork.
4-Wheel Drive Adventures: This program is designed to teach individuals with disabilities how to safely and independently access Off-Highway Motor Vehicle trails. This includes environmental responsibility, camping and fire safety, and related recreation and safety skills. One day and overnight trips are available in this family activity. Those who want more are treated to some "bouldering" in rugged terrain.
Watersports: Activities include kayaking, boating, sailing and canoeing. Both one and two day events are scheduled.
