Adaptive Recreation - Community Programs

Adaptive Recreation programs support people living with a disability or barrier in experiencing inclusive recreational activities while exploring nature and their natural abilities. From land to sea, we adapt our programs to our participants and provide the equipment and support they may need to experience year-round adventures. We partner with other non-profits, who bring their participants to our programs, helping them access adventures they wouldn’t otherwise be able to experience.

Who is it for?

From groups of youth as young as seven to adults of all ages, we offer programs to other organizations who support participants who live with a variety of barriers, including cognitive and physical disabilities, mental health considerations, injuries and illnesses in Vancouver and Victoria. Community groups bring their participants to Power To Be, and our team facilitates a variety of activity options.

What adventures are offered?

This program is available in Victoria and Vancouver. Program locations vary based on activity; however, all locations are accessible and many are near public transit. Our adventures happen year-round, with programs offered week days and weekends. Depending on the activity, programs are offered either during the day or in the evening. Most of our programs are half or one-day in length, with occasional overnight adventures.

What does it cost?

With the support of our community, all of our programs are subsidized, minimizing cost to groups. Program fees are based on type and length of activity, as well as group size. The typical rate for a 2.5-hour program for up to 12 people is $100. Bursaries are available if cost is a barrier and we will discuss the fees with you directly based on your needs.
