The heat was on, but so were the smiles! Beat the Heat 2024, the Casa Colina Outdoor Adventures and Wheelchair Sports Program’s annual adaptive sports and recreation camp was an absolute triumph. Held from August 20-22 in Long Beach and Glendora, this year's event was a testament to the power of adaptive sports to empower and build community.
Beat the Heat was a whirlwind of activity, with participants diving into a wide range of sports and adventures. Wheelchair basketball, rugby, and tennis courts were buzzing with energy, while the waters of Long Beach welcomed kayakers, sailors, and deep-sea fishers. The camp offered something for everyone, creating an environment where individuals of all abilities could challenge themselves, try new things, and most importantly, have fun!
Beat the Heat was more than just a sports camp. It was a place where friendships strengthened and confidence soared. The laughter, camaraderie, and shared sense of accomplishment were truly empowering. Participants left the camp not only with new skills and experiences, but also with a renewed sense of possibility and a stronger connection to their community.
The success of Beat the Heat would not have been possible without the incredible dedication and support of countless individuals. To our amazing participants, your athleticism is empowering. To our tireless staff and volunteers, your passion and expertise created a safe and welcoming environment for everyone. And to our generous sponsors and donors, your support makes this life-changing event possible.
