Paddling

Paddling

This activity was the last of our 5 activities to get going on the water. We are now in our sixth year and have about 12 outings per season all over WNY. We serve all disabilities, so why not come see if this is something that floats your boat. Our kayaking program is also a Team River Runner Chapter. TRR is a national veterans kayaking program.

TRR is national organization for our wounded veterans to come and find health and healing through paddle sports. WNY Adaptive Water Sports hosts events for wounded veterans and their families to come connect with other vets in similar situations. We promote social connections, paddling as a part of a healthy lifestyle and develop leadership in our participants. New participants and volunteers are always welcome. Come see if this is the activity for you!

We provide veterans and their families an opportunity to find health, healing, community purpose, and new challenges through adventure and adaptive paddling sports. Equally, our community paddling program is an adaptive kayaking opportunity for all of our disabled community. Our kayaking outings accommodate individuals with a wide range of disabilities. We can accommodate various physical disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, amputations, MS, MD, etc.. We also help all categories of developmental disabilities enjoy quality time on the water.
