EXPLORE
the Power of Possible
STARS mission is to empower and enrich the lives of people living with disabilities, through adaptive recreational sports.
STARS offers a wide range of programs where people with disabilities can participate in downhill skiing, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and water sports and more.
The power of our adaptive recreation lies in its ability to break down barriers, build confidence, and create opportunities for participants to explore their full potential regardless of their physical or cognitive limitations, and in so doing, uncover their Power of Possible!
