Description
Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra
Is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing adaptive sports and therapeutic outdoor recreation for people with disabilities. Our Board of Directors oversees the Executive Director who manages day-to-day operations and strategic growth. Alongside our professional year-round and seasonal staff, our dedicated volunteers are the key to the success of our summer and winter programs.
Our Programs
Provide opportunities for people of all ages with physical and/ or intellectual disabilities to have fun, healthy, inspiring experiences outdoors in the beautiful Eastern Sierra. In winter, our athletes alpine ski, cross-country ski, and snowboard at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center.
In summer, we teach a variety of sports throughout the Eastern Sierra including road cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and camping. In addition to daily lessons, we offer a variety of multi-day camps including programs for servicemembers with disabilities and their families.
We Offer
State-of-the-art adaptive equipment and specialized teaching methodologies so that anyone with any type of disability can achieve their outdoor recreation goals. Whether a student wants to pursue competition in a given sport or simply feel the sensation of sliding down a snow-covered slope, DSES provides customized, one-on-one lessons for each athlete.
We are a proud partner of Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and a Chapter of Move United.
DSES creates and facilitates fun, inclusive, and individualized mountain sports opportunities for people of all ages and abilities by removing barriers to participation.
We are community-centered around people with disabilities as well as their families and friends.
Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra is a volunteer-based nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families by: offering year-round outdoor sports and activities creating inspiring challenges providing expert instruction and adaptive equipment rallying the community to comfortably accommodate people with disabilities.
DSES has adaptive equipment to fulfill everyone’s winter and summer dreams: gliding down a snow-covered mountainside, cruising on a cycle or skimming over a placid lake. Activities are customized to each individual; one-on-one or in a group. Our goal is for everyone to be active year round!
We believe the exhilaration of outdoor experiences changes lives. DSES aspires to be a leader in adaptive recreation by promoting a lifelong passion for mountain sports for people of all ages and abilities.
DSES makes the outdoors accessible and affordable!!Contact
