Description
Who We Are NEHSA (New England Healing Sports Association) is a passionate group of people who pool their knowledge, skills and courage to participate in adaptive sports. Our entire organization is dedicated to providing athletes with access to outdoor sport and recreation, building new skills and igniting their confidence! 50 Years of Adaptive Sports History First established in 1972 as “New England Handicapped Ski Association”, by a group of returning Vietnam war veterans as a weekend adaptive skiing program for veterans with physical disabilities. As the program grew, a small lodge was constructed at Mount Sunapee Resort. Over the next several decades the program grew to include year-round adaptive sports and adaptive recreation opportunities for veterans and civilians with physical and cognitive disabilities and wee changed our name to reflect the healing power of adaptive sport and recreation to “New England Healing Sports Association.” In 1996, NEHSA began hosting a winter sports clinic for disabled veterans in partnership with regional Veterans Associations. This event is one of the largest of its kind in New England, drawing veterans from all over the country. Through our veteran lessons and events, we remain committed to enabling access to adaptive sports and adaptive recreation for veterans with disabilities. As we head into our 50th year of operations, we are delighted to offer year-round programming that includes adaptive kayaking, adaptive paddle boarding, adaptive skiing and snowboarding, and adaptive hiking. Our mission NEHSA serves individuals and families through adaptive sports, promoting healing and accomplishment. Our vision A world with strong, supportive communities providing full access to natural resources, an active lifestyle, and the highest possible level of independence.
