About the Summer Sampler
Running May through October 2026, this program will introduce participants to adaptive recreational and leisure activities. Throughout the summer, all participants will have the option to select from a range of program opportunities, including paddling, cycling, fishing, and more! This program was developed in collaboration with community partners to allow our patients and grads the opportunity to learn skills and gain independence in their recreation and leisure pursuits.
You can reach out to us at adventure@craighospital.org and a staff member will reach out to answer any questions you may have.
