Philosophy
Outdoor Explorations is a non-profit
organization that makes the outdoors a welcoming place to people with
disabilities. Through our innovative, cooperative, and fun approach,
we break down the barriers that prevent people from living life to the
fullest. Our adventure programs, training, and community service enable
people of all abilities to discover and value their own and others'
unique strengths.
- We believe all people, regardless of ability, age, economic, or cultural differences, can live, grow, work, and learn together.
- We believe that adventure activities within community settings provide a vehicle for self-discovery and personal transformation.
- We believe that adventure education can be a catalyst for improving social conditions by breaking down barriers within communities.
- We believe that knowledge of and participation with the outdoors builds ownership and encourages responsibility for the natural environment.
Breaking Down Barriers to Adventure
"The best part was seeing the clients with physical disabilities or
fear of heights make the effort to climb the walls. People who never
thought they could do this had the opportunity to be proud of themselves."
-Joe Breen, HICS recreation program coordinator (Climb and Dine 3.14.08)
