Why Support People Outdoors?

Img: Volunteers assisting a camper to walkPeople Outdoors are experts in providing outcomes-focused outdoor experiences for people living with disabilities, that are all about personal development, social connection and enjoying the great outdoors.

Programs include overnight through to week-long residential camps and provide people living with disabilities the opportunity to experience the social and developmental benefits of adventure outdoors. All programs are staffed by trained and passionate professionals and volunteers.

Your support will help us continue to provide these important recreational and social programs for people living with disabilities.

You can support us by donating, becoming a volunteer or even hiring our equipment.
