How It Works
- Your First Day: Arrive at your designated venue and check in at the front desk or program tent for your daily pass if needed and check-in.
- Equipment & Goal Assessment: Program staff review your functional goals, height, weight, and adaptive equipment requirements (e.g., handcycles, adaptive kayaks, or climbing harnesses).
- Check-In & Fitting: On program day, meet your volunteer instruction team at the designated staging area at Sunday River, Sugarloaf, or partner water/trail sites for personalized equipment fitting.
- Learn Your Sport: Enjoy custom 1-on-1 or paired coaching tailored to your stamina, goals, and comfort level.
- Turn In Your Pass & Gear: Return your pass and gear at the end of your session so our team can prepare equipment for the next participant.
We look forward to seeing you out in the sunshine!
