Why do BORP Participants Succeed?

• Studies have shown conclusively that kids who participate in sports and outdoor adventures have better grades and better habits.

• We work closely with our participants, their families, schools, and service providers.

• Where possible we take kids from the age of 5, and stay with them until they're 18-a key factor in our success.

• Disabled role models: BORP participants have weekly interaction with strong, successful peers. This is a key to their success.

• We expect a lot of BORP participants, and they rise to those expectations.
