Powering Up for Life
Adaptive Sports Connection is committed to helping veterans thrive - impacting physical, mental health, resiliency, and grit.
We snow ski, water ski, kayak, sail, mountain bike, fish, and create events to unite veterans. Answering the U.S. Surgeon General's call to connection - we know sports, outdoor recreation, and adventure therapy changes lives.
Through our Power of Ability campaign, we are determined to expand our veteran outreach state-wide and nationally. Focused on collaborating with other organizations, we are developing innovative outdoor experiences designed to bring hope, healing, and health - as we honor veterans' sacrifices, service, and strength.
