The Double H Ranch Adaptive Winter Sports Program, established in 1998, offers children ages 6-16 dealing with chronic and life-threatening illnesses the opportunity to participate in various winter sports in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains FREE of charge with necessary equipment provided. Our Adaptive Winter Sports Program runs from January through March. Activities include alpine skiing and snowboarding instruction. This unique program is coordinated by Double H staff, and the magic that takes place on the slopes is made possible through the efforts of our volunteer instructors and National Ski Patrol who provide 1:1 support.
Season after season, the dedication and passion of our volunteers makes the magic of camp a reality. Apply to volunteer at Double H and learn how you can be part of something more!
