Accessible Adventure for All:
Rocky Mountain Adaptive (RMA) was founded in 2009 with a powerful vision: to increase self-esteem, independence, physical health, mental well-being, and a sense of belonging in the community for individuals living with physical, neuro-divergent, or sensory challenges. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide accessible, inclusive, and life-changing outdoor sport and recreation opportunities in the Canadian Rockies for all individuals, regardless of ability.
At RMA, we are committed to breaking down barriers related to cost, accessibility, and transportation, ensuring that all Canadians have the opportunity to safely engage in activities that promote health, confidence, and social connection. We invite you to help us turn this vision into a reality for even more individuals in our community.
Rocky Mountain Adaptive offers a proven solution. Our programs provide over 20 adaptive sports and recreation activities for people of all ages and abilities—from beginners to competitive athletes. In the past year, we delivered over 3,000 adaptive experiences to 1,200 participants. We offer activities year-round, including skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking, paddling, climbing, golfing and more.
Our programs are designed to increase self-confidence, physical health, and social integration, and they deliver measurable results. Nearly 100% of participants report wanting to continue with our programs, and over 80% report improvements in confidence, happiness, and self-esteem. Participants often describe the life-changing impact of these activities, with one individual sharing, “Participating in this program really helps lift the lid on my capabilities and helps grow my confidence.”
Expected Outcomes:
Through RMA’s programs, participants not only gain new skills but also develop greater independence, resilience, and a deeper connection with their communities. These outcomes contribute to improved mental health, reduced social isolation, and a more inclusive society. By supporting RMA, you will help more individuals experience the joy of adaptive sports and discover a new sense of what they can achieve.
The Role of Our Supporters:
Your support is critical to the success of our programs. Donations, sponsorships, and volunteer efforts enable us to expand our reach, invest in adaptive equipment, hire skilled instructors, and provide the accessible transportation needed to bring people to our programs.
By partnering with RMA, you are investing in a community where individuals of all abilities can experience the joy of outdoor adventure. Your contribution will help us break down barriers and create life-changing opportunities for people with disabilities. Together, we can foster a more inclusive society, where every individual has the opportunity to participate, learn, and excel.
