Beyond Boundaries
What is Beyond Boundaries?
The Beyond Boundaries Outdoor Adventure program is progressive recreation program presented by Adaptive Adventures and the Spinal Cord Injury Association of Illinois. The program consists of three days and two nights of activities that bring together teams of spinal cord injured patients (ages 18-60) from social clubs and rehabilitation hospitals in the Chicago area, plus Hines VA Hospital. Beyond Boundaries utilizes camping, hiking, cycling, kayaking, rock climbing, and other outdoor activities as tools designed to promote exercise, experiential learning, and socializing with their peers. This is a unique multi-day opportunity not currently being offered anywhere in the region. Individual participants are welcome and will be placed on a team.
