Adaptive Wilderness Adventures
Adaptive Wilderness Adventure (AWA) is an international adventure travel organization run tailored specifically for people with disabilities. AWA also offers specialized programs for individuals who have a specific objective in mind.

"Our mandate is to make the adventure world accessible for all travel and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy."
CRIS Adaptive Adventures offers AWA programs at various times throughout the year. Different trips and locations are offered each year and we encourage participants to suggest new locations and activities for expeditions they would like to participate in.
