Get ready to move, play, and see the world in a whole new way 🌟

For the first time at Outside Days' Kids Zone, Adaptive Adventures is bringing the All-Abilities Adventure Course - a one-of-a-kind experience led by incredible adaptive athletes from our community.

Adventurous youth athletes will get the chance to try activities designed to build empathy, understanding, and excitement about inclusive play.

Kids will get to experience:

- Navigating a balance beam while blindfolded, engaging their other senses to stay balanced 👀
- Trying to score a goal while using side sticks, experiencing play with lower limb differences ⚽️
- Rolling through a wheelchair navigation course and discovering new ways to move 🦽

The only obstacle course redefining what an obstacle really is! We're opening minds, building confidence, and showing that play is for everyone.

Come explore, learn, and have fun with us at Outside Days this May 💛

SPF 40 hallelujah ✨

From snow-covered peaks
to quiet waters below the surface,
rainforest canopied paths
or endless open horizons.

We all move through this world differently.
But each of us has something to give.

This Earth Day,
we honor the power of showing up -
with our bodies,
our strengths,
our courage,
and our community.

Because when everyone
has access to the outdoors,
everyone has a chance to protect it.

And if we each do our part -
together, we can change everything.

Happy Earth Day 🧡

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week, and we’re recognizing the incredible people who make Adaptive Adventures possible.

Our volunteers show up early, stay late, solve problems, lift spirits, and help create experiences that truly change lives.

In 2025, the 9,930+ volunteer hours served transformed 11,200+ experiences provided. The encouragement, the high-fives, the “you’ve got this." It all adds up to something bigger.

Whether they’re repairing equipment, cheering on athletes, or simply offering encouragement, their impact is felt in every single program.

To all of our volunteers: thank you for being such an important part of this community.

Help us celebrate them - drop a 💙 or a thank you in the comments!

Think climbing isn’t for everyone? 🤔

With Adaptive Adventures, it already is.

Our accessible climbing wall - powered by adaptive gear and a whole lot of determination - is redefining what’s possible, one ascent at a time. Because the limits you imagine don’t define the reality we’re building.

This May at Outside Days, come see it for yourself. Climb, cheer, or just witness what happens when access meets opportunity. 🧗‍♀️✨

Want to be part of it? Volunteer with us and help elevate every athlete’s experience.

Colorado Community: We’re shooting a Freedom Trax commercial right here in Colorado 🎥 April 28th We would love to feature some of our real Freedom Trax community here.
