LOF Adaptive Skiers

LOF Adaptive Skiers is a non-profit organization providing adaptive water and snow ski opportunities. Experience is never a requirement of our participants.

Since its founding in 1992, Leaps of Faith has provided adaptive sports programs for children, adults and veterans with all types of disabilities, at absolutely no cost to the participant. We thank all of our dedicated volunteers, sponsors, donors and supporters for making LOF Adaptive Skiers a premier adaptive waterskiing organization and helping us achieve excellence in serving the disabled community.

We're so grateful to have gotten some help with a work day down at the beach yesterday!! Now, all of our docks are out of the water and we have a beautiful new partition in one of the sheds! Thanks so much to the four amazing volunteers who came out to help. It officially feels like autumn here at LOF!

This Saturday we were fortunate enough to go to the Adaptive Sports and Recreation Exploration Day at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, CT!! There were over a dozen booths from the area which were all focusing on adaptive sports. We're thankful for Elizabeth Kloczko Wescott, a professor at QU and LOF board member, who helped us out throughout the event. Our tables for snow skiing and water skiing were very busy from 10AM-12PM. It was a worthwhile event meeting the students and helping them understand LOF's programs and mission. Thank you Quinnipiac!!💙

This past Friday, we had an amazing event in Queens, NY with 25 skiers and many volunteers!! It was a fun experience out in the Jamaica Bay with skiers from Wheeling Forward. Everyone had a great time out on the water on sit skis with outriggers. We want to say a big thank you to Alex E for coordinating this event and helping it run so smoothly with our skiers and volunteers!! We are very grateful for our partnership with Alex and his awesome organization.

Last Saturday, 9/5, we had a last minute opportunity for a ski event with both skiers with disabilities and a few of our volunteers. Some of our volunteers and guests were not only skiing on the long line, but also skiing slalom on one ski. We had a 7 year old learning to ski as well!! Jamie and Victor also skied very well, with Jamie stand skiing and Victor sit skiing. Conditions were perfect with calm water and minimal boat traffic!!
