Choose your adventure type
The first step in planning your next trip with Adventures All Out is identifying the activity that matches your current fitness level and interests. Whether you prefer the rhythm of cycling, the immersion of hiking, or the flow of kayaking, selecting the right program ensures the experience is both safe and enjoyable.
Adventures All Out offers adaptive recreation programs designed for people of all ages and abilities. By narrowing down your choices based on terrain preference and physical comfort, you can focus on the joy of the experience rather than the mechanics of participation.
Consider how much time you want to spend outdoors and what kind of environment appeals to you. Some activities require more preparation or specific gear, while others are more spontaneous. Once you have a clear idea of your preferences, you can book the specific program that fits your schedule and goals.

| Cycling | Spring/Summer | Handcycles, tandem bikes |

| Kayaking | Summer | Adaptive seats, stable kayaks |
| Pickleball | Year-round | Modified rules, accessible courts |
Book your spot early
Securing a place in an All Out Adventures program requires advance planning. Because these inclusive recreation programs provide adaptive equipment and specialized support staff, availability is limited. Booking early ensures you get the specific accommodations you need, whether that is a hand-cranked trike for cycling or a wheelchair-accessible kayak.
Start at alloutadventures.org to view the current season’s schedule. The site lists all available adaptive recreation programs, including cycling, hiking, pickleball, and kayaking. Use the filters to find activities that match your ability level and location.
Choose the specific activity and date that works for you. Note that popular sessions, such as summer kayaking or winter snowshoeing, fill up quickly. Review the program details carefully to understand the physical requirements and the type of adaptive equipment provided.
During the registration process, clearly communicate any specific accessibility requirements. This includes details about mobility aids, sensory needs, or assistance required from support staff. Providing this information early allows the team to prepare the correct adaptive equipment and assign trained volunteers.

Prepare your adaptive gear
Adaptive recreation removes barriers, but it still requires preparation. All Out Adventures provides the core specialized equipment for most activities, ensuring you can participate safely regardless of your initial mobility needs. Their inventory includes handcycles, recumbent trikes, and specialized hiking chairs designed for various terrains.
You do not need to bring your own adaptive bike or wheelchair unless you have a specific medical requirement or strong personal preference. The organization maintains a fleet of well-maintained adaptive gear that is regularly serviced to meet safety standards. This allows you to focus on the experience rather than the mechanics of the equipment.
If you are interested in purchasing your own adaptive equipment, the trike shop on-site offers sales and service. This is an excellent resource for those who plan to engage in regular outdoor activities and want to invest in long-term accessibility. Staff can help you find the right fit, whether you are looking for a new recumbent trike or repairs for existing gear.
For your personal items, pack light and practical clothing suitable for the weather and activity. Bring any personal medical devices, such as a CPAP machine or specific mobility aids, that are not provided. Check the specific program details for any additional requirements, such as helmets or gloves, which may be included or available for rental.
Check seasonal availability
Adventures All Out programs shift with the weather and facility needs. Summer brings kayaking and cycling, while winter switches to adaptive snow sports. These offerings are not year-round constants, so verifying dates is the only way to avoid disappointment.
Start by visiting the official programs page. The site lists current offerings by location and season. If you see a specific activity you want, check the calendar immediately. Popular slots fill quickly, especially for group outings or specialized adaptive equipment sessions.
Do not assume a program runs every week. Many activities require specific instructors or equipment that are only available during peak months. If your preferred dates are not listed, look for the waitlist option or contact the center directly. They can often advise when similar activities will return.
Plan your travel around the confirmed program schedule. Booking early secures your spot and allows time for any necessary medical or accessibility preparations. A confirmed date is better than a hope for the best.
