DREAM's Mission
Year-Round Adaptive Recreation
DREAM Adaptive Recreation enhances the quality of life of people with disabilities through year-round adaptive recreation programs, advocacy, and education. We serve individuals ages 5 through adulthood with physical, cognitive, intellectual, developmental, and sensory disabilities, including military veterans.
Founded in 1985, DREAM initially focused on accessibility projects and education before expanding into adaptive alpine skiing at Whitefish Mountain Resort a few years later. Over the past four decades, we've grown into a year-round organization offering a wide range of outdoor recreation opportunities, including skiing, snowboarding, cycling, mountain biking, paddling, fishing, and watersports.
Building on our roots in accessibility advocacy, DREAM continues to break down barriers to outdoor recreation through education and community partnerships—helping create more inclusive outdoor spaces and opportunities for people with disabilities and their families.
SINCE 1985
Beyond Sport
DREAM programs help individuals discover what is possible. Participants build confidence, cultivate new relationships, and gain independence; skills we hope will positively impact their daily lives.
