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.
We have various hiking locations
