The summer always starts out slow and cold up here in Colorado, but by mid July the sun is sweltering and the water is perrrrrfect… Access Anything and Adaptive Adventures teamed up once again for the 4th annual Behind the Boat water camp last week for two days of wakeboarding and waterskiing and one day of rafting.

Over 15 participants with all types of disabilities both locally and from out of state attended the camp, joining over 25 volunteers, family, and friends for three days of blazing-sun fun.

We’re super proud of this camp’s success, which couldn’t be possible without our many local lodging and food supporters as well as our dedicated volunteers. Adaptive Adventures brings the equipment and expert instructors for both sit skiing and boarding as well as one-leg, barefoot waterskiing!

Stay tuned for the video, but for now view our photos from this event and join us next year if you can make it!

3rd annual Waterski Camp

August 25, 2008 By

Access Anything and Adaptive Adventures’ 3rd Annual ‘Behind the ‘Boat’ Adaptive Wakeboard and Waterski Camp was a huge success! With nearly twenty participants including three Steamboat locals and twice that many volunteers, as well as our generous donors and sponsors, this event continues to grow thanks to everyone’s involvement.

We spent two days on Bald Eagle Lake and one day on the Colorado River, and the weather was perfect, although the mornings a little chilly. Thanks to Native Excavating’s Ed and June McArthur for loan of the lake and their boat, this event is so special to us! Loud music on the boat encouraged participants to go big, and jumping the wake proved to be possible for many this year. We managed to lure in two new local participants new to the sport as well, and hope to see them back again next year! Our final day on the Colorado with Colorado River Center was a fantastic day in rafts and duckies with plenty of water-fights and laughter.

A special thanks to our food and lodging sponsors, this event is so successful because of you!
