What We Do
Based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, STARS offers year-round life-changing adaptive programs that promote independence, self-esteem, and a healthy lifestyle for youth and adults with disabilities. We embrace inclusiveness and what we can do, not what we can’t do. We celebrate the 'power of possible', the freedom of independence, and the exhilaration that comes from recreating outside!
Who We Serve
Individuals with cognitive and/or physical disabilities, injured Veterans, and their families.
Our Programs
STARS offers daily programs throughout the winter season and weekly programs and camps during the summer in alpine skiing, nordic skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, archery, cycling, hiking, horseback riding, kayaking, mountain biking, paddle sports, water Skiing, and more.
Why Participate
STARS’ programs help individuals discover the outdoors and teach skills to overcome health challenges, as well as develop confidence, self-esteem, and independence.
Our Story
STARS was formed in 2007 by a group of parents, ski instructors, and management from Steamboat Ski Corporation to help provide improved winter recreational opportunities for people with disabilities.
In 2010, STARS was contracted by Steamboat Ski Corporation to be the exclusive operator of all winter adaptive lessons and programs for the Steamboat Ski area. Since then, STARS has grown to offer year-round programming on and off the mountain.
In 2021, the STARS Ranch was completed, providing a fully accessible 27-bed lodge and recreational ranch facility that sits on the valley floor in beautiful Steamboat Springs, Colorado, creating a unique, healing environment for our participants, allowing them to not just survive, but thrive.
