DREAM Adaptive Recreation
OUTDOOR RECREATION FOR ALL! The mission of DREAM Adaptive Recreation is to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities by providing year-round outdoor adaptive recreational opportunities. We support individuals ages 5 to adults with physical, cognitive, intellectual, developmental and sensory disabilities, including Military Veterans.
DREAM acquired adaptive snow skiing equipment in the 1980’s and began offering alpine skiing to persons with disabilities at Whitefish Mountain Resort. Over three decades later, DREAM provides ~1,500 lessons & opportunities each year in sports such as alpine skiing & snowboarding, nordic skiing, mountain biking, paddle boarding, kayaking, water skiing & other water sports.
DREAM is a 501(c)(3)non-profit, tax-exempt organization with a platinum rating on Guidestar/Candid.
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.
