ADVENTURES WITH HCAS
*Need-based scholarships may be available; please apply under your HCAS portal.
Through outdoor sports, we can literally push ourselves to new heights; challenge ourselves to go faster or farther than we thought ourselves capable; and lift one another up when we share these accomplishments together. As a result, we develop a greater appreciation of our world’s natural beauty and resources – and equally important – we come together as people, learning more about ourselves and those who share in these accomplishments with us.
We do this by providing ski instruction, guided kayaking, mountain biking and climbing excursions to disabled youth, veterans and other persons with permanent injuries or disabilities. Our programs are led by trained professionals and volunteers and feature state-of-the-art adaptive sports equipment that allows every individual to enjoy and participate to their fullest ability.
