TRAILS Recreation is for EveryBODY!

Take a look at TRAILS in action!  Check out TRAILS Videos

The TRAILS program is participant driven to empower individuals by sharing fun activities, promoting self-confidence, teaching independent living skills, and assisting participants to fully realize their capabilities through recreation. When folks with and without disabilities work and have fun together, they build satisfying connections and break down stigmas. You’ll find us exploring new trails, horseback riding (or having fun just learning to lead a horse),  kayaking in Kachemak and Resurrection Bays, sit-skiing or snowshoeing, advocating for and improving accessibility of local trails and recreational sites, teaching awareness of disabilities in our schools, fishing all over the Kenai Peninsula, and more!  

Enjoy a short video providing a glimpse of some of what TRAILS offers, just click here: TRAILS video link. In many cases, TRAILS activities like those shown in the video are possible only because of the wonderful support we get from vendors, donors, and others.  We love to thank and acknowledge these partners--including folks who are pictured in or helped out on the video--so we're developing a special TRAILS Thank You page where you can meet the groups and individuals that make TRAILS activities possible.  See the June 7, 2018 Homer News Point of View.PDF that describes TRAILS and appreciates our diverse community support.

TRAILS has four main components, and these are introduced below.

• Recreation and Leisure Programs = our Activities
• Public Awareness and Special Events = our efforts to build Awareness
• Technical Assistance & Education = ways we provide Assistance
• Adaptive Equipment = our assisting with Adaptive equipment

Recreation and Leisure Programs 

Everyone wants to participate in recreation activities with friends and family. Our programs include people of all abilities and interests. We ski, hike, fish, kayak, raft, cook (and eat!), play cards, ride the Alaska Railroad, watch movies, take college and community school classes, paint, garden, celebrate holidays together, snowshoe, make dream catchers, go to the Alaska State Fair, and whatever else strikes our fancy! Join TRAILS! Participate in events, become a volunteer, or help us plan for future activities that are on your bucket list.
