Adaptive Programs

We're excited to let you know that the Montrose Recreation District offers the opportunity for you to request classes in adaptive sports and recreation! At the heart of our mission is the belief that sports and recreation should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. Whether you're new to adaptive sports or looking to hone your skills, we're here to accommodate your needs and preferences. Our dedicated instructors are ready to tailor classes to suit your interests.

Join us on this empowering journey!

The Recreation District strives to make ALL programs and facilities more inclusive by not only offering Adaptive Programs but also by getting input from our Accessibility Management Team and from the public.  Our goal is to serve everyone in our community by being inclusive. If you or a member of your family need accommodations or would like to provide feedback to inform our work so we can provide the very best in programs and services, contact Danielle or Jeremy at the number above.
