National Ability Center

The National Ability Center is committed to the development of lifetime skills for people of all ages and abilities by providing affordable outdoor sports and recreational experiences in a nurturing environment.

The objective of these experiences is to build self-esteem, confidence and physical development, thereby enhancing active participation in all aspects of community life. As a national role model, the Center promotes the concept of ability through integration, public awareness and education.

Founded in 1985, the National Ability Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt organization. Programs are supported through special events, grants from private corporations and foundations, individual donations and program fees. All activities are offered at an affordable rate and scholarships are available, ensuring participation for all applicants.

It is our philosophy at the National Ability Center to offer a broad range of sports programs and outdoor activities for individuals with both physical and developmental disabilities.

With an emphasis on safety, education and, of course, fun, the Ability Center strives to identify and develop year-round recreational opportunities which might otherwise be inaccessible and unavailable to special populations. Through the use of adapted equipment, trained instructors, volunteers, and specialized techniques, the Ability Center helps facilitate athletic endeavors and encourage physical activity.

Whenever possible, the National Ability Center's programs are also available
to the friends and family of individuals with disabilities. Recreational outings are essential for social interaction, and through the Ability Center, individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to pursue common interests with their non-disabled peers.
