April 28th we celebrated National Adaptive Sport Day. 💪🏻🦿🦾👩🏻‍🦯🧑🏽‍🦯👨🏻‍🦽👨🏼‍🦼🦯⛷️🏂🚴‍♀️🚵‍♂️🛶♿️🇺🇸

All across the nation we celebrate disability sport, we advocate for inclusion, and we promote universal access to movement, recreational and competitive sport.

April 28th also marks the historical anniversary of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This landmark civil rights legislation, in part, barred discrimination against people with disabilities in federally funded programs, including sports and recreation.

Therapeutic Adventures, Inc.(TA) a non-profit 501 (c)(3) has been providing services for 45+ years and is proud to provide ALL our adaptive sports and adventures—instructional programs, special camps, and therapeutic retreats at NO COST to our adaptive athletes and guests.

TA has experience providing many traditional individual and team sports, but now focuses on alpine & nordic skiing, snowboarding, sled hockey, climbing, cycling and hand-cycling, fly fishing (fresh water & salt water), canoeing and kayaking,

On Earth Day (4/22/26) and everyday, we must practice eco-stewardship. It’s important to be good stewards—managing, protecting, and taking care of the world around us. If we don’t do our part as guardians to oversee the environments where we live, work, and play then the problems of apathy will escalate out of control.

No. 2 — SPRING FLY FLING for Women Cancer Survivors
Read No. 1 first.

What members of Bugslinger™ Warriors Sisterhood have to say:

The idea of fly fishing has always been intriguing to me (in fact, if I had made a
“bucket list,” it would have been on it). But I never dreamed I would actually be
standing by stream with a splashing trout on my fishing line. It was a thrill I will
never forget!

Many times things we imagine to be special turn out to be a disappointment – not
the experience at the retreat. It was every bit and more exciting than I imagined.
Interesting enough I’ve always wanted to lean how to tie flies as well.

Although the activities were the highlight of the weekend, the generosity and
inspiration of all you who volunteered to make the weekend possible will never be forgotten or underestimated. You all made the “perfect weekend” (and I don’t say
that lightly.)

Sincerely,
Sandy
P.S. For Mother’s Day I received a fly rod kit from my kids.
_____________________________________

Thank you for putting together the wonderful Fly Fishing weekend. I really enjoyed everything about the weekend - the music, fishing, being outside, the camp, massages, the falconry lesson, great food and best of all, my time with the other women and volunteers. You have an incredible team of volunteers who really made me feel cared for, and I know the other women felt the same. I can tell you love your work and you are a real gift to those you serve. You certainly extend the love of Christ to every life you touch. I pray the Lord blesses you abundantly just as you have blessed so many people through Therapeutic Adventures. Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely, Ottilie A.

P.S. I love your book, Reflections on Spiritual Fishing! I’ve been reading and reflecting all week. 😊

#1 This is the weekend we were supposed to be providing our 18th annual SPRING FLY
FLING — Fly Fishing and Therapeutic Outdoor Retreat for Women Cancer Survivors.

Today, I reflect on a huge void in the lives of the Women Cancer Survivors— Bugslinger™ Warriors Sisterhood who benefited from our annual retreat.

The beauty of this important retreat, was that we would bring together a group of women who all share something in common—a diagnosis of cancer, a difficult journey of discovery and healing—then we provide some unique experiences that both challenge them and make it possible for them to do things they’ve never done before.

And, by the end of the weekend, those who participate may have cried a little and
laughed a lot realizing that they are loved and cared for by people they didn’t even know.

The valuable new friendships are based on all that was shared with their fellow kindred
spirits in the Bugslinger™ Warriors Sisterhood. Checking things off the “bucket list” is important. Feeling the unconditional love and support from people you did not know is powerful.

When it comes to women on their journey with cancer, Therapeutic Adventures has
always believed that you should not put a price tag on life, especially during the difficult times and circumstances that test the fibre of her being. This important healing retreat has always been provided at NO COST to those we serve. Approximately one-hundred
seventy women have had their lives transformed at this event.

It is with deep regret that this message, in part came to me in an email.

“After much discussion with the Martha Jefferson Foundation, we have made the difficult decision to not hold the Women’s Annual Fly-Fishing event moving forward. The Foundation would like to use funds in 2026 that will allow us to support a larger volume of survivors.”
