About
BORP trips:
We believe
that everyone should have access to the unique challenges that
outdoor recreation provides. We make every effort to
accommodate your needs; including providing transportation and
volunteer support. BORP plans trips for a wide spectrum of
abilities; including wheelchair users, slow walkers, and
people with visual impairments. BORP, however, does not
provide attendant care on trips; but will offer discounted
trip fees for caregivers when possible. Families and friends
are welcome on all of our trips - just let us know who is
coming and their needs.
BORP trips
operate on two basic tenets: that a successful trip requires
group participation; and that a little dirt is good for the
soul. The line between volunteer and participant is often
blurred, as we all share responsibility for the group's
well-being. However, every person is responsible for setting
their own boundaries and limitations. Safety is our FIRST
priority on all BORP outings and events.
Many BORP trips fill quickly,
so we urge you to register early.
Volunteers:
BORP trips
are possible because of dedicated people who generously donate
their time and energy. You too can be one of these lovely
people. Sighted guides are especially needed for hikes and
riding tandem bikes. Call the office for more information.

-

telephones, or drinking fountains and signage.
• Access to Programs, Services and Activities- This
includes bicycling, boating, exhibits/interpretive
programs, camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding,
educational programs, or events.
