Whistler Adaptive Sports Program provides the opportunity for hundreds of people with a wide range of disabilities to take part in sports and recreation programs along side any other Canadian, with a sense of adventure and the feeling of well-being that comes from immersing oneself in Whistler's world class recreational opportunities. Two ASL (American Sign Language Interpreters) Instructors are available for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing on all Winter programs. The ASL Instructors can speak up to 12 different Languages for Signing which is pretty amazing. Please make sure to request an ASL Instructor when making a booking if required. Individual Program Information can be found at the following link Whistler Adaptive Sports Program (WASP) or please contact Chelsey Walker at 604-935-9406. WASP also runs Winter Programs in the following area Sit Skiing, Snow Boarding, Nordic Sit Skiing and Alpine Racing just to name a few they are a great asset to Whistler for people with various Disabilities.
Experience Hotrod Tours in Whistler's beautiful backcountry! Exceptional guides, unforgettable views, and the occasional adrenaline shot, these custom built hotrods are fun for the whole family! We have taken out a number of clients that were wheel chair bound, as well as those with other impairments including the Deaf & Hard of Hearing. Because
each group has no more than 3 guests per guide we are able to provide
extra care and attention to each of our guests
We have had quite a few disabled people come out and have the time of
there life. Bungee Jumping is a great activity for disabled as there
is no skill required, as long as we can get them into a harness then
they can jump or we can push them. We have full wheelchair access to the bridge and over the bridge! We jump year round. Please visit the above link for more information

TREK & TREE
TREK:
Ziptrek and TreeTrek Ecotours take place high in the treetops between
Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. With a maximum of 8 people on a tour
during the Winter, our guides must divide their attention between all
guests to ensure the safety of everyone. The biggest difficulty we have accommodating a disabled person is if they are in a wheel chair. Our terrain is varied and there are quite a few stairs to climb. It is almost impossible in the Winter time. Please visit us at the above link for more information.
Whistler River Adventures office is located in the Whistler Village Gondola building at the base of Whistler Mountain. This is an easily accessible, ground level location and all of our tours depart from here. Our transport vehicles consist of vans and school buses, and rafting trips require a short walk at either end as well as active paddling.
At Outdoor Adventures, we pride ourselves on being providers of inclusive recreational opportunities and encourage anyone interested to contact us for detailed information regarding the requirements of our different activities regarding disabled accessibility.
Due to safety concerns the ATV tours are limited as you would need to
be able to communicate with the Tour Guide Driver on your own or with
an ASL Interpreter that you would have to bring yourself.
Our
Hummer tours are both suitable for the Hard of Hearing and mobility
restricted guests. Hummer tours are able to pick up from local locations,
or the guest (who is mobility restricted) would be required to make
their own way to the Whistler Mountain base area approximately 5 minutes
away. From our Sales desk located in the Carleton lodge we could assist
the guest into the Hummer for the tour and securely store any equipment
for the guest at either our desk or our Private base located on the
Mountain. ATV Tours would require the Deaf or Hard of Hearing guest
be able to communicate with the Lead Driver on their ATV or they could
go as a passenger with limitations. Again we would also supply secure
storage for any of the guests equipment at either our sales desk or
private base on Blackcomb Mountain. Please visit our above link for
more information or contact our sales desk.
The
Core is the ultimate four season climbing and fitness facility. It combines
the promotion of health and exercise-related activities designed to
facilitate positive lifestyles, for both families and individuals to
enjoy.
