A Little Bit About Us

Adaptive Sports Background
Wasatch Adaptive Sports (WAS) a 501 (c)(3) charitable foundation was established in 1977 to help fill the need for affordable recreational and educational programs for children and adults with special needs. Most programs available today are financially out of reach for many families and individuals. WAS does not turn anyone away, requires no initial fee, and provides full or partial scholarships so all can participate.

Scholarships are essential to our program!

Our Scholarship Fund Supports Over 95% of Our Participants
Approximately 95% of all our students are on a full or partial scholarship. The children, adults and families in the greatest need are the least likely to afford even the most minimal expenses.

When a physically or intellectually challenged person participates in activities such as skiing or hiking a mountain trail, it goes a long way to building confidence and self-esteem.

Please help us by making a donation to our scholarship fund and help children and adults with special needs experience the splendor of our mountains.
