NSSRA Program Guides Winter 2019 | Page 27

Adaptive Sports Center (Colorado) Registration Deadline: Friday, November 30 Join us for the trip of a lifetime to the Adaptive Sports Center (ASC) in Crested Butte, Colorado! ASC, founded in 1987, started with a small, but passionate group of individuals that began offering ski instruction and equipment to participants with disabilities. ASC is now a therapeutic recreation organization that operates year-round with activities ranging from mountain biking and skiing to ice climbing and kayaking. ASC and NSSRA are coming together to provide participants with a ski/snowboarding trip in the mountains of beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado. You do not need prior experience with skiing or snowboarding, the ASC staff will be paired up with our group to provide adaptations and individualized lessons. Pack your warm winter clothes and join us for an exhilarating adventure! Please bring spending money if you would like to buy snacks or souvenirs. Fee includes airfare, bus shuttles, meals, accommodations and all associated skiing/snowboarding costs. New participants must attend an NSSRA overnight trip prior to the registration deadline so NSSRA can assess the individual’s readiness for this trip. Please note that participants will be sharing a four-bedroom cabin with staff and peers. A trip waiver and an information packet will be sent upon registration and should be returned no later than Friday, February 8. Participants must be able to independently perform daily living skills, follow scheduled activities and function at a 1:4 staff to participant ratio.
