by Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation
Founded in 1982, Maine Adaptive Sports & Recreation (MASR) is the largest year-round adaptive recreation programme in Maine and one of the longest-running in New England. Based at Sunday River in Newry, Maine, the nonprofit has grown to serve hundreds of children and adults across 10 sports and activities entirely free of charge, supported by over 400 volunteers.
Maine Adaptive provides fully free alpine skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic skiing lessons at three of Maine's top ski areas — Sunday River, Sugarloaf, and Pleasant Mountain. Every lesson includes adaptive equipment, a lift or trail pass, and expert instruction. Summer programming extends to adaptive cycling, paddle sports (kayaking and canoeing), hiking, and golf. Over 2,500 lessons are delivered annually with all costs covered by donations.
Maine Adaptive serves children and adults with physical disabilities including spinal cord injuries, amputation, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, and visual impairments. All services are 100% free — including equipment, lift tickets, and instruction — regardless of the participant's financial circumstances.
