  • Recreational 12 and under (multi sport clinics)
  • Wheelchair basketball (youth and Adult)
  • Wheelchair Tennis (adult)

Junior Adaptive Sports Camp

Children, ages 4-18, attend a five-day adaptive sports camp. Campers have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of a number of adaptive sports and further develop their skills. Sports include wheelchair basketball, tennis, archery, swimming, rugby, soccer, handcycling, sailing, water tubing, outrigger canoeing, kayaking and more. The camp’s goal is to help establish the building blocks of an active life through the introduction and skill development of adaptive sports.

This was a great experience. The commitment level (one practice per week for 8 weeks and 1 game) felt very do-able. I didn't feel overwhelmed. I would definitely volunteer again.
