STARS Steamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports

We believe that adaptive recreation can positively impact the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. STARS programs help individuals discover the outdoors and learn skills to help overcome challenges and develop confidence and independence.

What our STARS are saying:

"STARS made it possible for my special needs child to feel included by doing very similar things his other siblings were doing on the mountain such as biking."

"My son has been attending STARS for two summers and thoroughly enjoys it. From horseback riding and hand-cycling to various water sports, he loves the independence and interactions he received from playing with his peers."

"What a blessing trips like this are for so many veterans. It is a great experience to see veterans from different places come together and share their experiences -- their lives. To do this in such a grand outdoor setting makes it even better -- helps more than all the meetings, counseling, and prescription drugs!" R. Sautter

"I've been thinking non-stop about my trip to Steamboat and truly can't tell you thank you enough. You were right about that campsite-- it was definitely healing. From the kayaking to the fishing all the way to hanging at the campfire with everyone, my girls and I had an amazing time… I've been healing for a while now. Almost ten years to be exact. People like you and your team have been a huge part of that in a very short time. I truly appreciate it" Randall

"I want to thank you so much for inviting me on this trip. This adventure has taken me out of the world of PTSD, out of my nightmares and daydreams. The beauty of Mother Nature is so awesome that it makes me want to stay… Again, thank you for taking me out of my world of hell and into the world of beauty. I wish this could last forever. "
