Mission

The mission of the National Sports Center for the Disabled is to advance the power of people with all abilities through adaptive innovation and the joy of recreation and outdoor experiences.

Background Statement

The National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD) was founded in 1970 when Hal O'Leary, a ski instructor at Winter Park Resort, volunteered to teach a group of children with amputations from Children's Hospital Colorado. Hal quickly discovered the great demand for a ski program for people with disabilities and became a pioneer in the field, creating innovative adaptive equipment and designing methodologies for teaching people with disabilities.

55 years later, the NSCD is Colorado's most comprehensive provider of adaptive outdoor experiences. We offer more programs, in more places, in more ways that change lives. With the core belief that everyone is able, and anything is possible, we use the power of adaptive innovation, recreation, and Colorado's great outdoors to transform lives, families and communities and create a world that celebrates each person's abilities.
