The second Annual Multi-Sport Day, a special event hosted by Wyoming State Parks, Adaptive Adventures and the Cheyenne Veterans Administration, will be held at Curt Gowdy State Park, Aug. 9, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This one-day event will showcase adaptive equipment for individuals with accessibility needs in the outdoors, and will help those guests discover a community that can help them recreate outside.
Regarding the program, Adaptive Adventures Executive Director Chelsea Elder says, "We are excited to partner with Curt Gowdy State Park and the Cheyenne VA Medical Center to bring this inclusive and accessible multi-sport experience to individuals with physical disabilities and their families. Adaptive recreation provides individuals the opportunity to gain greater independence, to improve their overall physical and mental health and to experience camaraderie in an inclusive community. Adaptive Adventures provides cutting edge equipment, highly skilled staff and innovative adaptations to make the perceived impossible... possible regardless of an individual's disability or perceived physical limitations."
Anyone with accessibility needs, should feel free to attend and discover the possibilities created by adaptive recreation.
Events will be hosted at the Silver Crown Campground and the Granite Springs Boat Ramp. From 10am to 3pm, Adaptive Adventures will have adaptive bikes, a mobile climbing wall, and kayaks available for visitors to try.
An introduction to dragon boat racing will occur at 1:00 pm please register to reserve a space! Informational tables will feature more outdoor opportunities and ways to engage with a community of people focused on making the outdoors more accessible. Park fees are waived for event participants.
