Outdoors for All is a community of volunteers, participants, staff and supporters. Sometimes these connections thrive after years and miles apart! On the first day of Saturday Night programs at Summit West, the room was relatively quiet after the group potluck dinner. It was the first Saturday Night program after a few years off and some of the volunteers were still reacquainting. But when participant…

A common question that I’m asked is “What is Outdoors for All’s largest program?” For many years, the answer was always our winter program. You see, each year we enrich the lives of 275 or more children and adults with disabilities in our winter activities at The Summit at Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass. Most of our participants enroll for seven weeks of cross country or…
What’s better than simply awesome? How about: simply awesome multiplied by more awesome? THAT’S what Outdoors for All’s mission is at its best. And THAT’S what I got to witness on a recent Wednesday night this summer at Deception Crags just off I-90 at Exit 38 east of North Bend. OH. MY. GOSH!!! So, so, so, so, well, AWESOME! Perhaps you’re someone who had…

I get to work with some terrific people — and we get to work together to use outdoor recreation as a means to enrich the lives of thousands of children and adults with disabilities each year. Recently we’ve…
I’m looking forward to seeing many old friends and meeting new ones at our annual SPREEFEST at Alpental on Saturday, March 11, 2017.

This winter I’ve had a chance to get out to many of our on-mountain programs at The Summit at Snoqualmie and at Stevens Pass. I still have more programs to visit (I know, tough duty!), but even so, what I’ve already seen and heard first-hand…
