At Waypoint Adventure, we recognize the willful spirit inside each of us, and we help unleash it. Free it. We see adventure as a teacher, one that breathes confidence into us all. Once you’ve taken on that challenge of adventure...you’ll begin to invite opportunities that can change the way you think and transform your life. Where "I can’t" becomes "Yes, I can", Waypoint Adventure is here to help free what’s possible.

At Waypoint Adventure, we lead adventure education programs for people with disabilities, and we need awesome volunteers like YOU! As a cross-country skiing/snowshoeing volunteer, you might:

• Set up and put away equipment

• Play snow games and have fun!

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Do you need to know to cross-country ski to volunteer?
  • No! we need volunteers to push kick-sleds/sit-skis, to snowshoe and play snow games.
