August 12th - 13th - CampAbility at L.L. Stub Stewart State Park + -

Program: Tent Camping, in partnership with OSCI
Trip Date: August 12th – 13th, 2025
Cost: ($60)

Adventures Without Limits’ CampAbility Program invites individuals and families impacted by spinal cord injuries into a welcoming and supportive camping environment so that we can share our love of the outdoors with communities who may face barriers to access.

In partnership with Oregon Spinal Cord Injury Connection, Oregon State Parks, and Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, AWL will host up to 8 individuals or families for a single night group TENT camping trip at Stub Stewart State Park, August 12th – 13th. This trip is designed to align with the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower, so it will be a relaxing evening with a pot luck in a group meeting hall, and star gazing after the sun sets.

What to expect:

  • Unlike a typical CampAbility program, this trip is intentionally designed to be low-cost and community driven. Meals will NOT be provided, but we will have access to a group meeting hall, and folks who come out to camp or just swing by for a few hours in the evening are encouraged to bring a pot luck item to share.
  • We have a limited number of tent sites reserved for folks who want to stay overnight. These are RV sites with large gravel pads for pitching a tent. We may ask you to share a site with someone else if the number of interested campers exceeds the number of individual sites we have reserved.
  • Folks who want to come out for a few hours in the evening are welcome to meet us at the Dairy Creek West Meeting Hall between 6 – 8 pm. After this time we will gather at the Hilltop Day Use Area to observe the stars after sunset. Day use fees may apply.

What’s new this year?

  • Registration only includes the cost of the site reservation and/or group meeting hall. This program will NOT be hosted, meaning that participants should be prepared to take care of their own food and camp kitchen materials will not be provided.
  • Tent camping gear will be available upon request.

Important Information:

  • All individuals participating must meet the Essential Eligibility Criteria.
  • Minors must be in attendance with a supervising adult.
  • Campers must be able to meet onsite.
  • Check in Tuesday is 4:30 pm. Check out Wednesday by 12 pm.
  • All participating campers must complete AWL’s Digital Liability Waiver.
  • Well behaved non-service animals may be allowed and must be kept on 6 ft leash at all times.
    • AWL staff will not be available to stay back with pets or service animals at any point during the trip.
  • NO camp meals will be provided by AWL, but we encourage folks to bring something to share for a pot luck on Tuesday evening.
  • Tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cots, and other camp gear can be borrowed free of charge, by completing a Gear Request Form.
  • Questions? Email jennifer@awloutdoors.org.

To register:

  • Click the red ‘REGISTER HERE’ button at the top of the page.
  • Participants can complete a single ticket registration per tent site. (ex. family or friends sharing a tent or tent space may complete a single ticket registration), and we encourage folks who are able to purchase individual registration tickets to do so.
  • If you plan to bring anyone with you – family, friends, caregiver, etc. please include the names of every person in your party when you register.
  • If you do not want to stay overnight, please select the option for Pot Luck Drop In, and RSVP to let us know you will be coming!
  • If the event appears ‘sold out’ sign up for the waitlist, we will be opening additional spots as they become available!

September 19th - 21st - CampAbility at La Pine State Park + -

Program: Cabin Camping, in partnership with OSCI
Trip Date: 9/19 – 9/21/24
Cost: sliding scale ($275 – $400) – What is a sliding scale?

Adventures Without Limits is teaming up with Oregon Spinal Cord Injury Connection to host a weekend camping trip for the SCI community in the Pacific NW. We have reserved the deluxe cabins (which are still very rustic) at LaPine State Park, September 19th – 21st, 2025. Each cabin sleeps up to 5 total (details below).

What to expect:

What is included with registration:

  • The deluxe cabins at LaPine State Park are ADA accessible, and equipped with one futon (which converts to a double bed), a bunk bed (with double on the bottom, twin bed on top), lights, refrigerator, microwave, bathroom (with shower), sink, an electric heater, and outlets. Deluxe cabins include vinyl mattresses, but participants will need to supply their own bedding. Camp supplies (sleeping bag, headlamp, etc.) may be reserved upon request.
  • Happy Hour type snacks Friday evening, simple breakfast Saturday & Sunday mornings, and a group dinner in camp Saturday evening. Everyone will be responsible for their own dinner Friday evening, as well as lunch on Saturday and Sunday.

What’s new this year?

  • The registration fee is offered on a sliding scale in an effort to reduce financial barriers to access, while also ensuring the long-term sustainability of this program. The sliding scale base (financial assistance needed) only covers the cost of the reservation for 2 nights, and not the additional resources that go into this program. If you have already attended a CampAbility trip in Summer 2025 at a subsidized rate, please consider leaving these limited spaces for other folks to join the program.

Important Information:

  • All individuals participating must meet the Essential Eligibility Criteria.
  • Minors must be in attendance with a supervising adult.
  • Individuals/families must be able to meet onsite. If transportation is a barrier for you, please email jennifer@awloutdoors.org to request transportation at the time of registering for the event.
  • Check-in Friday is anytime after 4:30 pm. Happy Hour snacks will be available Friday from 5:30 – 7:30 pm. Please have a plan for your own dinner.
  • Check out Sunday by 12 (noon).
  • All participating campers must complete AWL’s Digital Liability Waiver.
  • Simple camp breakfasts will be provided by AWL Saturday and Sunday, as well as a group meal Saturday evening. We may or may not be able to accommodate dietary preferences, so we encourage campers to bring snacks to supplement group meals throughout the weekend. If you or anyone in your party has dietary restrictions please indicate them on your waiver and registration.
  • You will notice that (2) of the deluxe cabins available are NOT pet-friendly. Service animals are of course welcome, but non-service animal pets are only allowed in designated cabins. If you do bring a pet, please make sure they are friendly with other kids and dogs, stay on a leash at all times, and have a plan for care for your pet during activities. Animals are not to be left in cabins unattended, and AWL staff will not be able to take responsibility for service animals or pets.

To register:

  • If you plan to bring anyone with you – family, friends, caregiver, etc. please indicate the total number of guests in your party (up to 5) and list the names and ages of all participants on your registration form.
  • If the event appears ‘sold out’ sign up for the waitlist, we will be opening additional spots as they become available!
  • Cancellations made less than 2 weeks before the event date (September 6th) will be non-refundable if we cannot find someone else to take your spot. If you need to cancel, please reach out to the team at Adventures Without Limits ASAP (info@awloutdoors.org).
