Space Available at Veterans/No Boundaries Summer Adaptive Sports Camp for Disabled Veterans, August 17-19, 2007

Veterans/No Boundaries, a program of Maine Handicapped Skiing, is offering a fantastic sports and camp experience for veterans and active duty service people with physical disabilities at Camp Caribou in Winslow, Maine, August 17, 18 and 19, 2007.

Veterans with physical disabilities can participate in a variety of adaptive sports at Camp Caribou, including cycling, kayaking, fishing, golf, martial arts and wheelchair tennis.

Thanks to the support of Bath Iron Works, who provided a generous grant to underwrite the Veterans/No Boundaries program for 2007 and 2008, all equipment, instruction, meals and lodging are free to Veterans/No Boundaries participants.

Maine Handicapped Skiing’s goal, through Veterans/No Boundaries, is to help any veteran (or active duty service man or woman) with a physical disability to learn new skills, build physical strength and gain self-confidence through participation in adaptive recreational activities.

This will be the third year that Maine Handicapped Skiing has offered the summer Veterans/No Boundaries program.

For complete details about this summer’s Veterans/No Boundaries program at Camp Caribou please email or call Diane Barras, Program Coordinator, at dbarras@skimhs.org  or 800-639-7770.

Registration for the August program closes July 18th.
