EQUALITY & ACCESSIBILITY
Our mission is to develop recreation opportunities for people with disabilities living in and visiting the Greater Teton Area
It takes a Village!
We accomplish our mission via programs, partnerships and eduction. Our programs bring the disability community together moving, usually outdoors. Our partnership model lets the experts in each activity lead the way and is key to bringing inclusion unabashedly to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Education reminds everyone that everyBODY deserves to get outside and enjoy our lovely surroundings in the Tetons.
“We need to make every single thing accessible to every single person with a disability.”
— Stevie Wonder
Teton Adaptive Core Values
At Teton Adaptive, we believe in outdoor recreation that includes all abilities. We strive for equal access to opportunities to improve quality of life. That’s what outdoor recreation is about!
INCLUSION
As members of our community, adaptive athletes should have the same access to recreation as anyone else. We believe that separate is not equal. We strive to broaden possibilities for every current and prospective participant in the Greater Teton Area.
RECREATION
It’s all about fun! When we are outside connecting with our environment, learning new ways to cover ground and spending quality time with the people we care about, our lives and our health improve. Teton Adaptive is in the quality of life business.
OPPORTUNITY
Inclusivity covers all aspects of our community regardless of identity or financial standing and we strive to make it more welcoming. By providing scholarships, programming, training, and accessible equipment we expand opportunities for more inclusion in a historically inaccessible world.
