About
Founded in 1979, Outdoors for All is a Seattle-based adaptive and therapeutic recreation organisation and a national leader in year-round programming for children and adults with disabilities. With over 850 volunteers and more than 3,000 participants served each year, the foundation has decades of expertise in making outdoor recreation genuinely inclusive.
What It Does
Outdoors for All's winter programme at Stevens Pass, Washington, offers adaptive downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and sit-skiing for people with a wide range of disabilities. Programmes are designed with sensory-aware practices — predictable routines, visual supports, and volunteers trained in sensory-inclusive approaches — making them especially accessible for neurodivergent participants. Year-round activities include cycling, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, and day camps.
Who It Helps
The foundation serves children and adults with physical disabilities, cognitive and developmental disabilities, neurodivergent conditions including autism, acquired disabilities, and sensory differences. Military veterans are also served through a dedicated adaptive programme.
