USABA has teamed up with Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center and Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sport to offer two opportunities to ski and snowboard this winter.
In Colorado, USABA and BOEC will give participants the opportunity to learn to ski or snowboard, or work on advancing their skills, March 2-6. At Pico Mountain, Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sport will host its 9th annual Winter Sports Festival in Killington February 5-8.
This video from last year's camp in Vermont should get you excited! Both camps are open to all skill levels and all ages. To learn more about both camps, visit the USABA website.
About USABA: USABA is a Colorado-based 501(c) (3) organization that provides life-enriching sports opportunities for every individual with a visual impairment. A member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, USABA provides athletic opportunities in various sports including, but not limited to track and field, nordic and alpine skiing, biathlon, judo, wrestling, swimming, tandem cycling, powerlifting and goalball (a team sport for the blind and visually impaired).
USABA was founded by Dr. Charles Buell in 1976 with the purpose of improving the lives of people who are blind and visually impaired. That year, 27 young men and women were selected to represent the United States in the first Olympiad for the Disabled in Toronto, Canada. As a result of this Olympic involvement, a group of national leaders, educators and coaches of the visually impaired met to discuss the need for an organization to structure, promote and sponsor competitions for people who are blind and visually impaired throughout the United States.
Today, USABA has evolved into a national organization that provides sports opportunities to thousands of children, youth, adults and veterans who are blind and visually impaired. USABA programs serve athletes of all ages and abilities from local grassroots programs to the elite Paralympic level. Information is available here.
