Adventures & Outing

Making Recreation Accessible

Everyone, regardless of disability, should have the opportunity to enjoy outdoor recreation and cultural experiences. BORP’s Adventures & Outings program supports this by:

• Hosting regular group trips for people with disabilities;
• Helping individuals and families plan their own independent recreation and travel through our Access Northern California Website;
• Offering regular recreational activities like adaptive kayaking and birding.

Group Outings

BORP’s trips are fun group adventures that explore the Bay Area’s nature, recreation, and culture. Examples include a day trip to Angel Island, wine tasting in Sonoma County, hiking an accessible trail, or attending a live performance. Many trips are appropriate for children, youth and their families. On occasion, BORP also provides outings specifically for children and youth.

Participants forge new friendships, challenge themselves to do new things, and often discover new interests, skills and a sense of empowerment.
