SOAR Experiences is a nonprofit dedicated to making the outdoors accessible for people with mobility impairments. We provide adaptive group hikes and nature experiences using specialized mobility equipment and trained staff and volunteers, allowing participants to explore and benefit from the health advantages of nature and meaningful social connection. We are proud to partner with universities, community organizations, New York State Parks, and rehabilitation hospitals to offer diverse hiking locations, presentations, clinical learning opportunities, and adaptive community programming. Our mission is to remove barriers, promote inclusion in health-promoting spaces and activities, and create meaningful outdoor opportunities for people of all abilities.
Adaptive Experiences - Our adaptive programs, which include hiking, air gun marksmanship, off road passenger ride-along and much more, are based at our Ellenville, NY location through SOAR Experiences. Our guests can forge unforgettable memories in a supervised and supportive environment. Our adaptive hiking program can be offered at other venues as well.
Educational - Universities, allied health clinical programs, State & Local Parks will benefit from learning about outdoor recreation for those mobility disabilities.Our in-person or webinar based presentations have been delivered at venues across the country.
Non-Profit - We realize many people with mobility impairments may be financially challenged. One of our goals is to offer adaptive experiences at low cost to our clients, achieved through ongoing fundraising, grants and donations.
