All Out Adventures

For [Amy] Sugihara, community is as essential as the equipment. She found friends through the program -- other participants she waves to on the trail and partners she now plays pickleball with on her own time.

“The people at All Out Adventures make all the difference,” Sugihara says. “Not only are they incredibly kind, but there’s this respect for everyone. They treat participants as athletes, not as people who need to be helped. There’s a dignity to it.”

Thanks to the National Park Foundation for visiting one of our programs, connecting with our staff and participants, and really understanding just how meaningful adaptive recreation is.

"It was wicked fun! I pushed myself out of my comfort zone!"

So much joy on the ice yesterday, going through an obstacle course, passing hockey pucks, and knocking over the block tower and bowling pins. Thanks to DCR Universal Access Program and FMC Ice Sports for your partnership that makes it happen, and to the Berkshire Eagle for capturing these stunning photographs!

"Thanks to All Out Adventures, we had 3 summers of experiences together."

Executive Director Karen Foster Cannon had the privilege of presenting to residents at a local senior living community earlier this week. A resident well-acquainted with us shared with his neighbors that he and his wife, who had been life-long avid cyclists, discovered our programs and the joys of recumbent trikes as she developed Alzheimers and could no longer ride her 2-wheel bike. Riding recumbent trikes supported them in maintaining their love of cycling together for 3 more years than they otherwise would have been able to.

Something we've been super excited about this year is making video models of our programs to help interested participants know what to expect when they arrive. While it'll be too chilly to paddle here in Massachusetts for a few more months, we love reliving these moments on the water!

We've been teaming up with the Fields Center in Northampton, supported by grant funding from the Doug Flutie, Jr. Foundation for Autism to make these videos. Check out what it's like to join us for kayaking and canoeing!

What a meaningful day Tuesday was, we were proud to spend it with many of our Veterans Program participants as a cycling contingent for the parade.

NORTHAMPTON — Tom Pease, a member of the color guard at Tuesday’s Veterans Day Parade in Florence, had the most accurate weather report of the day when he said from the microphone that it was a, “Brisk, cold, New England morning, but what can you expect.” But the weather didn’t keep away m...

What an absolutely glorious day we had on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Sudbury yesterday! We got to be a part of several participants’ very first time ever exploring the trail because this program was the first time the adaptive equipment they needed was available to them. ❤️

Thanks so much to the Sudbury Commission on Disabilities for securing the funding and organizing the day and for the amazing avolunteer support from Janie Dretler, Sudbury Select Board and Chris M, the Sudbury representative to the Friends of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail.
