The Freedom of Movement for All
Imagine skiing for the very first time. Or racing down the mountain, fine tuning your skills.
Biking down a gently paved trail. Off-roading on a handcycle.
Gliding along on a tandem kayak or paddling solo on a stand-up paddleboard.
Heading to the base of a climb. Scaling up a new peak.
Feel that? Those are the thrills of exploring Colorado’s most rugged peaks and breathtaking beauty in a safe, supervised environment.
The only feeling to top that mountain high? Being welcomed, accepted, and valued for exactly who you are. No changes.
Our Core Beliefs
Mission Statement
The Telluride Adaptive Sports Program is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of people with disabilities by providing educational and recreational opportunities that develop life skills, encourage personal growth, and promote independence. TASP offers adaptive skiing, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, cycling clinics and a whole host of other activities that allow students to participate on an equal level with their family and friends in a safe, fun, outdoor environment.
Safety First
Creating a safe environment for everyone’s physical, emotional, and social development is our top priority. Our team is highly trained in risk management and therapeutic recreation and maintains ongoing certifications and advanced training. Programs have protections and protocols and use equipment specifically designed for individuals with disabilities.
Inclusivity
The great outdoors are for everyone to enjoy. Choose from various programs, and participate on an equal level with family and friends. Whether someone is a newcomer to adaptive sports or looking to notch a new goal, our experienced team can support participants in most pursuits.
Personalized Instruction
Each participant deserves the best instruction for them. We cater to each person’s ability level cognitively and physically and their learning curve. In the process, we’re modeling healthy living, boosting confidence, fostering socialization, and making memories. This approach carries over to our lives off the trail, mountain, or lake.
Collaborative Fun
We’ll admit it: We have buckets of fun and laughs here. We have amazing partners who contribute to our work. From the moment you book your adventure to the last climb or hill of the day (for now!), we’re a team committed to joyful living.
Challenge by Choice
Our programs can be demanding and might be unlike anything else a participant has experienced. We encourage everyone to make the best decisions for themselves in terms of challenge. We have the training and expertise to offer introductory to advanced challenges and love giving folks a first taste of a new adaptive sport geared to their ability level.
