Making it Happen
Participants bring the courage and desire to face a new challenge in outdoor activity. Donating their time and enthusiasm, volunteers ensure that the Lakes Region Disabled Sports program can accommodate growing numbers of students. Volunteers reflect that helping a challenged person focus on what they can accomplish, is the most rewarding work they have ever done. The Lakes Regio
n Disabled Sports Center is the brown building located in the base area behind the main lodge at Gunstock Ski Area. LRDS operates from mid-December to the end of March. The Lakes Region Disabled Sports program is a 501.c3 non-profit sub chapter of Move United. We receive tremendous support from the Gunstock Ski Area as well as other local businesses and private individuals. Spirit of Participation
At Lakes Region Disabled Sports, we proudly sponsor special events like Winter Sports Clinic for Disabled Veterans, the Diana Golden/Mills Cup Race, and fund raising events for our own adaptive sports program. How Can I Help? The Lakes Region Disabled Sports program helps challenged people participate in outdoor sports. Volunteers and funding are two requisites for the program to succeed. You can help the program by volunteering your time. Volunteers receive training in adaptive equipment, adaptive teaching techniques, and instruction to improve their own skills. Perhaps sports are not you interest, but you would still like to help? Volunteers are needed to staff the office and organize or assist during fundraisers. You may prefer to make a tax-deductible contribution.
