Description
Our History
Common Ground Outdoor Adventures (CGOA) was founded in 1993 as an AmeriCorps*VISTA project at OPTIONS for Independence in partnership with Utah State University’s Outdoor Program and Bridgerland Audubon Society. In 1997, the organization incorporated as a private non-profit and has grown to serve well over 3,600 people with disabilities annually.
CGOA seeks to increase the accessibility of outdoor recreation and discover creative new ways to access wild places. The organization provides adaptive equipment and support which enables individuals with disabilities to participate in recreation and outdoor adventures. By crossing perceived limitations individuals gain self-confidence, which carries over into the quest for meaningful employment, the pursuit of relationships, and active participation in community life. All outdoor activities include discussions, activities or presentations that foster appreciation and respect of the natural environment.
Recent major accomplishments include:
Completion of facility slopeside at Beaver Mountain.
Increased ski lessons by 70% to approximately 700 lessons.
Implementation of the wildly successful Youth Adventure Leadership Program (YALP) and Jr. Adventurers
Successful expansion of warfighter programming, serving US military personnel and veterans with disabilities.
Our mission
Common Ground Outdoor Adventure’s mission is to provide life-enhancing outdoor recreation for youths and adults with disabilities.
Our promise
At CGOA we are committed to an inclusive environment. We follow industry standards to ensure that your experience is one of safety, fun, and learning. We work hard to provide state of the art adaptive equipment and teaching techniques.
Our vision
To obtain the resources, equipment, facilities, and staff to provide quality physically and financially accessible outdoor recreation opportunities for every youth and adult with a disability that has the desire to participate. We want to do all we can to remove barriers and enhance people’s lives through recreational experiences, while reducing the stereotypes society has about people with disabilities.
