The “No Boundaries” program promotes self-esteem, pride, and a sense of accomplishment for combat wounded service men and women as they expand their independence and overcome challenges once thought insurmountable. Our wounded veterans do this by experiencing a variety of challenging activities at the Wasatch Adaptive Sports Center, Snowbird Mountain, Utah for winter trips, and in Southeast Florida for summer/fall trips. The challenges and accomplishments on these trips help wounded veterans understand that their disabilities may not be as limiting as they once thought when participating in many of life’s available activities. Living together under one roof for 6 days, these heroes also benefit from group socialization, camaraderie, teamwork, and new life-long friendships with fellow veterans who are in the same situation and experience the same challenges in life. The veterans and No Boundaries hosts become like family on these trips, living together under one roof.
“No Boundaries” is a 501(c)3 tax exempt non-profit charity organization. We are all-volunteer/no salaries and 100% of each donation goes to support the wounded veterans on these trips. Our goal is to sponsor a summer/fall and winter trip for 10 veterans each year. The average cost per trip, per veteran is approximately $2,000. These trips are free of charge to the veteran participants.
Wasatch Adaptive Sports has trained staff and facilities to host and accommodate 10+ combat wounded veterans in Snowbird, Utah. Each 6-day trip is full of challenging and exciting summer and winter activities. Typical sport activities in the fall include skeet shooting, deep sea fishing, diving with sharks, adaptive golfing, and surfing. Winter trips include adaptive downhill skiing, sled hockey and tubing. All adaptive sporting activities are tailored specifically for the veteran’s needs and are supervised by trained staff. Participants depart from their local airports and arrive at the destination airport where we gather. All meals, lodging, transportation, and daily program activities are included – expense free – for the combat wounded veterans. No Boundaries truly changes the lives of our nation’s heroes.
