Part 3 - Line 4a

COMMUNITY-BASED WORK: ADAPTIVE CAMPING PROGRAM: SUMMER IS THE SEASON FOR THE OUTDOORS AND CAMPING, AND YET PEOPLE LIVING WITH SPINAL CORD INJURY ARE LESS LIKELY TO GO CAMPING AND ENJOY THE GREAT OREGON OUTDOORS BECAUSE OF DIVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL BARRIERS. SPECIFICALLY, THE MAJORITY OF OREGON'S CAMPING FACILITIES AND OUTDOOR RECREATION PROGRAMS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. OUR ADAPTIVE CAMPING PROGRAM GETS PEOPLE WITH SCI AND THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS INTO NATURE FOR A WEEKEND OF CAMPING. WE ARE ALSO EDUCATING FOR CHANGE. OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, OREGON SPINAL CORD INJURY CONNECTION HAS TEAMED UP WITH ADVENTURES WITHOUT LIMITS, AND OREGON STATE PARKS DEPARTMENT TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO STATE PARKS AND OREGON'S NATURAL SPACES. THIS PROGRAM HAS SUPPORTED INCLUSIVE CHANGES IN STATE PARKS AND AS A RESULT, OREGON STATE PARKS ARE BECOMING ACCESSIBLE. OREGON SPINAL CORD INJURY CONNECTION'S ADAPTIVE CAMPING PROGRAM IS SPEARHEADING CHANGE, AND DEMONSTRATING THAT OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASM IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE SPINAL CORD INJURY COMMUNITY!
