AdVenture Seeker Program

Idaho Youth Adaptive Sports Clinic

This year the Idaho Youth Adaptive Sports Camp is rolling into one fantastic day of sports, a great lunch, t-shirts for everyone, and friendship!
The clinic is open to youth and teens age 6-20 years who have a physical disability that limits mobility. Young athletes with a physical disability who use a wheelchair, AFO braces, walker or crutches are welcome to attend. Coaches will teach athletes the sports of wheelchair tennis, wheelchair basketball, adaptive cycling and more. Please bring a face mask and join us for this event. Hopefully by next summer we can go back to a 4-day camp! This is offered in partnership with St. Luke's Rehabilitation.

Wheelchair Rugby

This Paralympic Sport is a fast-paced and high contact team sport that is a lot of fun. Typically played by people with physical disabilities, the wheelchair rugby team loves when people without disabilities join as well.

Youth under 18 may enroll if accompanied by an adult. It is currently held at Fort Boise Community Center.

Adaptive Waterskiing

Whether you are learning to ski for the first time or relearning the sport after an accident, this is a great adventure.  We will fit you to a single water ski, an adapted sit water ski or a tube depending upon your comfort and ability level.  For their safety, prior to skiing and tubing, all participants are required to demonstrate that they are able to roll in the water from a face-down position to their backs while wearing a life jacket. 

Adaptive Rafting

The adaptive rafting program is one of AdVenture's most popular programs. We take participants on multiple rivers including the Main and Cabarton sections of the Payette River and the Boise River. We've facilitated rafting opportunities for numerous people of varying abilities since 1985. We rely on experienced and dedicated volunteers to help keep the costs as low as possible for our participants. All AdVenture trips are led by the Adapted Recreation Coordinator and include volunteer support, meals, rafting equipment and transportation to and from Fort Boise Community Center and the rivers. Participants and/or their guardians will also need to sign the Rafting Waiver of Liability.

The AdVenture adaptive rafting season runs from June through August. Please see the Summer Activity Guide for trip dates.

Wilderness Within Reach Fly-In Trip

The Wilderness Within Reach Fly-In is offered to individuals who have a physical disability that affects their mobility (those who use a wheelchair, walker, AFO braces, etc.) and one companion.  We fly in small aircrafts into the Frank Church Wilderness and spend two nights at a remote ranch. Many thanks to the Idaho Aviation Foundation and the pilots for making this unique experience possible. At the request of the pilots, priority is given to people with physical disabilities who have not previously gone on a Wilderness Within Reach Fly-In trip.
