Who can do adaptive sports?

NEHSA offers year round adaptive sports. Based at Mount Sunapee Resort, our lodge is home to our winter adaptive skiing and snowboarding program, where we offer instruction in stand up or sit-down skiing, or snowboarding (some people try both). In the warmer weather our adaptive paddle sports programs go on the road.

Our athletes range from amputees, persons recovered from polio or strokes, individuals with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, paraplegia and quadriplegia, visual and/or deaf, and persons with developmental disabilities.

Veterans Events

Veterans are welcome to any of our year-round adaptive sports. We also host several multi-day and single-day adaptive events for servicemen and servicewomen with disabilities. These events promote rehabilitation by instructing Veterans with physical and psychological needs in adaptive alpine skiing, snowboarding, ski biking, kayaking, paddleboarding and other adaptive activities and sports.
