Northeast Passage
Northeast
Passage works
to create an environment where individuals with disabilities
can recreate with the same freedom of choice and independence as their
able-bodied peers. All individuals, with disabilities or able-bodied, should
have the freedom of recreational choices and opportunities to connect with
themselves, their families, friends, community and nature. We accomplish our
mission through education, problem solving, and the creation of
opportunities. We work in cooperation with other programs to create a strong
network of accessible recreation, rather than a duplication of services.
