High-Challenge Sports Program:
Massachusetts, Florida and California
At the core of AccesSportAmerica is our adaptive High-Challenge Sports program - windsurfing, Hawaiian outrigger canoeing, surfing, water-skiing, sailing, kayaking and rowing as well as wall climbing, soccer, cycling, and tennis.
Depending on one's age or disability, we can recommend one of our seven sites throughout New England or two in Florida. High Challenge Sports inspire higher function and drive our athletes to greater goals physically and emotionally.
When you call us at 617.303.2459, we will recommend a site and program that suits you best.

HIGH CHALLENGE TRAINING CAMPS
Intensive overnight, week long high-challenge training camps take place in Los Angeles, California and Stuart, Florida. AccesSportAmerica Athletes and Trainers from New England join local athletes and trainers to live and train together. Camps focus on building specific skills in windsurfing, Hawaiian outrigger canoeing, surfing as well as yoga and tennis. We believe that both sport specific and functional goals can be achieved during this intensive but relatively short training period.
