Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Programs
Providing the opportunity for Winter recreation for children and adults of all abilities
Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Program provides therapeutic recreation for children and adults of all abilities.
Experiences are tailored to meet the needs and goals of each individual. Some campers/students may require two counselors/instructors, while others may be appropriately paired with one counselor.
We also offer an inclusion program with our ski and snowboard programs for children. This gives a child with special needs the opportunity to socialize with his/her peers while still maintaining the support he/she needs through the adaptive program.
There is no age limit for the program. Half and full day lessons are available. Our highly trained instructors will evaluate each individual's needs and goals and determine their equipment requirements. Smugglers' adaptive program maintains an inventory of adaptive equipment including mono-skis, bi-skis and a slider. Snowboarding is also available.

In 2013, the Smugglers' Notch Adaptive Program fielded a team of athletes for the first time in the Vermont Winter Special Olympics. The team that competed in the March 2013 Games at Suicide Six Ski Area in Woodstock, Vermont included a snowboarder competing in the Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the advanced course; a bi skier competing in Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the intermediate course; and two skiers competing in Giant Slalom, Super G and Slalom on the intermediate course.
Our team doubled in size for the March 2014 Vermont Special Olympics. Six skiers, one bi-skier and one snowboarder competed in Slalom and Super G at the novice and intermediate levels.
Our adaptive athletes and coaches are looking forward to competing in 2015!
