Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports

Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports was founded in 1987 and since that time has grown into a nationally recognized 501c3 organization that empowers people of all abilities through inclusive sports and recreational programming, regardless of ability to pay. In addition to sports, Vermont Adaptive integrates environmental, holistic wellness and competitive training philosophies for people of all ages, with cognitive, developmental, physical and emotional/behavioral disabilities.
