Outdoors for All

The Outdoors for All Foundation, formerly the SKIFORALL Foundation, is a community based non-profit organization whose mission is to enrich the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities through outdoor recreation.

For nearly 30 years Outdoors for All has provided recreational services to children and adults with physical, sensory, and developmental disabilities throughout Puget Sound and greater Northwest community. Today, Outdoors for All is a national leader and one of the largest nonprofit organizations providing year round instruction in adaptive recreation including cycling, hiking, river rafting, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, rockclimbing, camping, snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country and downhill skiing. Our programs transform over 2,000 children and adults with disabilities each year through training and support from over 600 volunteers.

Outdoors for All programs are designed to promote fun, fitness, education, independence, socializing, and a love of the outdoors. Our activities have a profound ripple effect and often benefit volunteers, family members, and caregivers just as much as participants with disability.

Over 85% of participants and volunteers say they experience an increase in their quality of life due to participation in Outdoors for All activities.

"As a human being, this is one of the best things I do all year around; perhaps the best." -Outdoors for All Volunteer

"Thank you for your great summer programs. Nick does not look forward to the school break because he does not have a job or friends to hand out with due to his disability and challenging social skills. If it were not for Outdoors for All he would have a boring summer indeed. Instead he enjoys waterskiing, rock climbing, and river rafting, all of which he would not be able to do without you." -Parent of an Outdoors for All Participant

"Thank you so much for the scholarship you gave me so that I could ski at Crystal. I've been visually impaired for 4 years and this experience really boosted my morale. It also gave me hope that I can accomplish other things as well. My family, friends, and I are all so grateful for your support." -Outdoors for All Participant
