Programs
Our impact partnerships emphasize holistic, therapeutic programs and services designed to promote fellowship, foster community, and above all, gain independence. From week-long adaptive sport clinics for newly injured Veterans to paralympic competitions, we support a variety of adaptive sporting activities with a goal of promoting healthy lifestyles through movement.
Adaptive Sports
Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 1976 in Breckenridge, CO whose mission is to expand the potential of people with disabilities and special needs through meaningful, educational, and inspiring outdoor experiences. BOEC offers custom-designed, high-quality outdoor recreational opportunities led by well-trained professional staff and supported by over 300 volunteers. People from all over the U.S. and internationally come to participate in BOEC’s Adaptive Ski and Snowboard Program, Wilderness Program, and Internship Program. They serve over 2,500 participants each year of all ability levels including adults and children with physical and cognitive disabilities, sensory differences, Veterans and their families, and other historically disadvantaged populations.
“From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the program. Surrounded by Veterans who shared similar experiences, I found myself doing things I never thought I’d be able to do again. Standing at the top of the slope, I saw the world differently – no longer dark and gloomy, but full of beauty and hope. It was a turning point for me.”
