Outdoor Adventures and Wheelchair Sports
Freedom without boundaries
Casa Colina's Outdoor Adventures and Wheelchair Sports program empowers people with disabilities by creating opportunities through challenging and exciting outdoor activities. Emphasizing ability over disability, the program lets participants experience success both physically and emotionally. Our program utilizes the natural world to create unique opportunities where people with disabilities can:
- Participate in day trips, wheelchair sports, and other recreational adventures
- Enjoy a sense of community with others
- Gain new skills
- Share new experiences with people of all abilities
To sign up for participation in one of our trips, please visit our Participant Forms page and follow the instructions to submit your application materials. Outdoor Adventures staff will then contact you with instructions on how to pay any applicable trip fees.
Since 1985, the Outdoor Adventures program at Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare has successfully and safely provided adventure experiences to thousands of people with varying disabilities, providing freedom without boundaries. It is the fulfillment of Casa Colina’s goal for all its rehabilitation clients: full participation and enjoyment of life.
For more information, please contact Lisa Hilborn, MA, CAPE, Director of Outdoor Adventures and Recreational Therapy, at lhilborn@casacolina.org or 909/596-7733, ext. 4161.
