We can confirm that the CT River is a truly glorious place to be these days! We spent the day scouting the whole route of the 17th Annual Kayak-a-thon in the Spirit II, a beautiful canoe with an electric trolling motor that was donated to us a few years back We are 2/3 of the way to our fundraising goal - you can support a paddler here: https://alloutadventures.rallybound.org

Wanna know 1 of the reasons we're cheering this week? The 17th Annual Kayak-a-thon is going to include 2 of our amazing staff alumni!

Patti will be back in her signature role, leading the flotilla on a paddle board. And our 2023 Program Assistant Alina will be back - moving kayak chariots and taking on the sweep role in her kayak for the day.

Today was our very first day of Adaptive Pickleball at the brand-new courts in Northampton! Players from ages 17 to 94 came out to enjoy the game and practice skills.
We’ll be on the courts every Tuesday from 11 AM – 1 PM, and we hope you’ll join us for fun, fitness, and community.
A huge thank-you to the generous business and individual sponsors whose support made this dream a reality.

Yesterday we ran a private program at Barton Cove. Our program assistant, Tess, said that this is her most favorite location to paddle thus far, and that we could offer programs there again. What do you think, should we?

Here's an old-school AOA cycling program circa 2009. Our cycling fleet has come a long way to accommodate riders of all abilities, and yet the classic hand cycles, trikes, and fun are still the same. We hope you can join us at our upcoming cycling programs with DCR Universal Access Program in Hadley and Cheshire, and over at Look Memorial Park. Check out our schedule in the comments.
