Your support makes the difference.

Oregon Adaptive Sports is working to remove barriers to outdoor recreation for individuals with disabilities.

Approximately 1 in 5 Americans live with a disability and face numerous barriers to the outdoors. Adaptive sports equipment is prohibitively expensive for most, accessible transportation does not reach trailheads or open spaces, hours of training are required to facilitate safe and effective programs, and individuals with disabilities are vastly underrepresented in the decision making processes in the outdoor industry.

Your charitable gift helps OAS dismantle these barriers. Learn how your gift creates access through our financials page!

OAS is now entering its 28th year of adaptive skiing programs at Hoodoo, Mt Bachelor and Mt. Ashland with adaptive summer programs ranging from golf, cycling, mountain biking and hiking throughout Central Oregon. We invite you to invest in our work and help create and sustain access to the outdoors for individuals with disabilities.
