Access. Adventure. Transformation

At Adaptive Adventures our mission is beyond just getting outside, it's about changing lives through access, adventure, and community. Every outing, every piece of gear, every volunteer hour adds up.

The Difference We Make

    Great!

    I have done a couple trips with CRIS before and had an amazing time… As an individual with limited mobility, I am constantly cold! I was worried that my poor circulation would make an outdoor trip extremely uncomfortable and unenjoyable but the staff did a great job of calming my fears by planning to supply the appropriate equipment so that I would be comfortable, regardless of the weather conditions….

    The staff that Adaptive Travel have shown me that with the right people and enough will, virtually any outdoor adventure is possible.

    Life Changing!

    Severe depression lifted.  Lots of hugs and kisses and plans for the future.  I have my husband back!  He has not wiped the smile off his face.  Heartfelt thank you to all of you. 

    You really do change lives!

    Outstanding!

    Once again, I’ve got to give my love to your program. Yes some things were crazy hard, I might of even said a few f bombs randomly, but things like going swimming (always used to be at the beach dt), going kayaking (which I so loved), and going on a hike.  So good for the soul.  All of this happened because other people put THEIR souls into it.  The result is lots of happiness. 

    Thanks again to whoever was there… Ty for taking the time for people like me :)

    You Rocked My World!

    It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me and I’m really grateful… 

    On a Saturday morning, six people I’ve never met got up and drug my big ass for a 5k hike/climb in what had to be challenging conditions for 5 hours. That is one of the largest single acts of kindness I’ve ever received.  For that, I’ll never forget any of you.
