We offer miles of smiles

Our adaptive adventures offer “Miles of Smiles” to guests at our facility in Ellenville, NY and many other public and private venues in NY & CT. Outdoor recreation provides benefits for both physical and mental well being.

Accessibility Meets Adventure

SOAR Experiences embraces the belief that nature's wonders should be accessible to everyone. Our commitment to inclusivity drives us to provide opportunities for individuals with mobility impairments to experience and enjoy the great outdoors.

Our Services

Adaptive Experiences - Our adaptive programs, which include hiking, air gun marksmanship, off road passenger ride-along and much more, are based at our Ellenville, NY location through SOAR Experiences. Our guests can forge unforgettable memories in a supervised and supportive environment. Our adaptive hiking program can be offered at other venues as well.

Educational - Universities, Occupational Therapy Schools, State & Local Parks will benefit from learning about outdoor recreation inclusion for patients/guests with mobility disabilities. Our in-person or webinar based presentations have been delivered at venues across the country.

Partnered Programming - Clients can leverage our many years experience of providing adaptive outdoor activities. We are available to assist in the design, launch and operations of your own Outdoor Adaptive Program.

Non-Profit - Many people with limited mobility are financially challenged. We offer adaptive experiences at low or no cost to our guests through ongoing fundraising, grants and donations.
