Outdoor Adventures
Freedom without boundaries
Casa Colina's Therapeutic Recreation and Outdoor Adventures program empowers people with disabilities by creating opportunities through challenging and exciting outdoor activities. Emphasizing ability over disability, the program lets participants experience success both physically and emotionally. Outdoor Adventures utilizes the natural world to create unique opportunities where people with disabilities can:
- Participate in day trips and adventures
- Enjoy a sense of community with others
- Gain self confidence by experiencing success through acquiring new skills
- Share new outdoor experiences and adventurous activities with people of all abilities
Since 1985, the Outdoor Adventures program at Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare has successfully and safely provided adventure experiences to thousands of people with varying disabilities, providing freedom without boundaries. It is the fulfillment of Casa Colina’s goal for all its rehabilitation clients: full participation and enjoyment of life.
