Description
From the Wilderness Inquiry website:
When traveling with Wilderness Inquiry you help create opportunities for others to share the adventure. As a nonprofit organization we provide opportunities for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to experience the great outdoors. Together we can help people build meaningful connections with each other and the natural world. Join us on a trip to help make this possible!
Share the Adventure is not just a slogan for us. If you have a disability and you want to go on a trip where you are treated the same as everyone else, you’ve come to the right place. Since 1978 WI has conducted integrated adventures for persons with disabilities as well as people who do not have disabilities—as equals and peers. Our mission is to provide real outdoor adventures for everyone.
Accessibility Information
From the Wilderness Inquiry website:
WI provides adaptive gear (canoe/kayak seat pads, adaptive paddling equipment, etc.) to suit a wide range of needs. Please list specific accommodation requests during the trip registration process and contact us with any questions
I have a disability and require the support of a Personal Care Attendant (PCA). Can my PCA attend the trip for free? For most camping trips within the continental United States, the answer is yes! We want you to have appropriate support from somebody you are familiar with, and we want your PCA to attend. If you do not have a PCA you'd like to attend, we will try to find a suitable PCA to assist on your trip. We cannot guarantee that a PCA will be available. For most lodge-based and international trips, a PCA may need to pay a reduced fee.
Mobility Information:From the Wilderness Inquiry website:
Most WI paddling trips are a great fit for anyone with limited upper body abilities. Our canoes and kayaks are fully accessible and we have a variety of adaptive equipment to assist you. Please provide as much information as possible regarding your accommodation needs on your registration form.
Our mission is to provide equitable access to the outdoors. Some of our itineraries are inherently more wheelchair-friendly than others. After working with participants to determine which experience is best for them, our trained staff utilize a number of field-tested adaptive gear and practices to ensure participation of all group members.
We require use of a manual wheelchair on most of our trips. Chairs that are collapsible and have knobby tires are very helpful, as are balloon front tires. Most modern, manual wheelchairs are adequate.
Hearing Information:From the Wilderness Inquiry website:
We typically ask interpreters (SLIs) to go on trips with our participants who have a hearing disability. If a participant is able to bring their own sign language interpreter, this usually works best. SLI's trip fees are waived on domestic trips and slightly reduced on international trips. If you cannot provide a sign language interpreter, WI will attempt to find one to attend the trip. We cannot, however, guarantee that an interpreter will be available.
Intellectual/Social Information:From the Wilderness Inquiry's Gateway program webpage:
Over the years, Gateway has helped thousands of people with developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and others transition to more integrated outdoor adventures through extra training and support. We believe these skills translate back into everyday life, making Gateway experiences an effective catalyst on the path to greater independence.
