Description
About Us
Empowering the human spirit since 1992, Adaptive Sports Connection is a 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to serving children, veterans, and adults with disabilities through outdoor and therapeutic recreation and education. We serve thousands of individuals with disabilities and their families every year in 44 counties in Ohio. With adaptive instructors, equipment, and over 600 volunteers, we utilize the power of sports to push what's possible.
Our goal
Is to help people focus on their ABILITIES - unleashing the power within to enjoy life no matter the challenges they face.
Our Mission
Our mission is to break through limitations with adaptive innovation, ensuring people of all abilities the health benefits, freedom, and sense of belonging from recreation, education and outdoor experiences. Our Vision Our vision is for people of all abilities to feel independent, strong, and a true sense of belonging while enjoying sports and outdoor recreation with friends, family, and community.
Our Values
We value resilience because it drives personal achievement, inspires others, and pushes us beyond perceived limits. We value freedom because it allows independence. We value collaboration and the importance of working together to enhance our community.
Our Facility
We operate out of our Adventure Center located along the Scioto River in Powell, Ohio, through our partnership agreement with the Columbus City Recreation and Parks. However, the current structure is deteriorating and cannot accommodate participants or volunteers due to safety issues.
We are currently raising funds to build a new state-of-the-art Adventure and Wellness Lodge. We operate our winter sports from Mad River Mountain Ski Resort and Snow Trails Ski Resort and our cycling and mountain biking out of Glacier Ridge Metro Park and Alum Creek.
In addition, we provide program services with our partner Mount Brighton Adaptive Sports in Michigan at Mount Brighton Ski Resort. We also have ready-to-go trailers to take our adaptive cycles and kayaks on the road to reach people where they live, work, and play across the state of Ohio.
Our Services
Adaptive Programming We snow ski, water ski, cycle, kayak, and mountain bike, utilizing adaptive equipment to match a person’s ability. We also provide adaptive and therapeutic bikes to children through our Bikes to Go Program. Get Out Adventures Get Out Adventures is our social enterprise designed to provide inclusive outdoor experiences for the entire community.
