**NOTE** This is a special program for agency leaders.This is not a typical open enrollment program. If you are a participant looking for our regular summer programming all of the other links listed are for you! ** Thank you!

 

Program Description:

This hiking program is designed specifically for those who lead or work at agencies serving people with disabilities. Let the roles be reversed—this time, you're the participant! Come get lost in the woods of the Blue Ridge mountains as the Waypoint staff guide you on an inclusive hiking adventure. This program is a chance to connect with others in the field, learn how Waypoint Adventure's programs can complement your agency’s mission, and to simply add a little bit of fun and adventure to your week. We will demonstrate and practice with our off-road wheel chairs on trail, talk through other considerations and adaptations we can provide for hiking, as well as answer any and all questions and/or concerns that you may have when it comes to having your group join us on an outing!
