⏱️ Time: 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM
📍 Location: Adaptive Adventures, Westminster, CO

Mountain high, valley low, or lagoon wide! 🦾

In recognition of Veterans Day, we brought back our ANNUAL celebration in Puerto Rico! In collaboration with our local volunteers, we have not one - not two - but over FIVE different programs for veterans and civilians alike to get outdoors, get active, and find community alongside those who served, and those who love our service members. 🇺🇸
