Adaptive Water-Skiing and Wakeboarding Clinics		September 13-14, 2008
Come join CDA for our two-day special clinic where we'll explore the fundamentals of adaptive water skiing with Matt Feeney from Adaptive Adventures. Day 1: we'll focus on training and equipment. Day 2: we'll spend the entire day water-skiing and wakeboarding.		Time: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Where: Bryan Lake, 618 Dike Rd., Grand Junction, CO (on the road to the Connected Lakes State Park) Cost: $60 per person for a two-day clinic includes lunch both days, instruction and equipment.

Colorado Discover Ability has teamed-up with Adaptive Adventures (web site) to introduce you to adaptive water-skiing and wakeboarding in western Colorado. Come experience the speed and exhilaration of water-skiing behind a speed boat!

Located on a private lake, the trained instructors and volunteers of Adaptive Adventures and Colorado Discover Ability will teach you how to safely water-ski and wakeboard using adaptive water-ski equipment that accommodates the entire range of mobility. The first day of the clinic introduces you to the equipment and basic skills, while the second day is spent entirely water-skiing.

Water-skiing and wakeboarding are popular forms of physical exercise, exhilaration, and social interaction practiced around the world. Adaptive water-ski equipment offers a unique opportunity for individuals with lower-mobility or other impairments to experience the joys and benefits of water sports. Spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, amputation, multiple sclerosis, intellectual disability, you-name-it, adaptive water-skiing enables outdoor recreation -- for everyone.

Because adaptive water-skiing is a relatively new and growing sport, it lacks exposure and availability around the country. In countless cities and towns around the country the freedom and physical benefits of water sports should be available to all individuals regardless of ability or disability. Creating water sports opportunities for individuals of all abilities and from all walks of life is what Colorado Discover Ability is all about, and your partnership with us will insure that we succeed in reaching our goal.

So come to waterski, wakeboard or just to watch this spectacular clinic. See you there!
