ADAPTIVE RECREATION
PROGRAMS & SERVICES
PROGRAMS & SERVICES Boise Parks and Recreation’s AdVenture program provides a
wide range of programs for youth and adults with disabilities. We also offer inclusion services in which modifications may be provided so that an individual with a disability can fully participate in any of Boise Parks and Recreation’s programs. Services, such as sign language interpreters, additional staff, adaptive equipment, etc. may be provided with at least two weeks advanced notice of the program start date with no cost to the participant. To inquire about inclusion services, please contact Emily Kovarik at 208-608-7687 (TTY: 1-800- 377-3529) or ekovarik@ cityofboise.org. Reasonable modifications are based on individuals’ needs and abilities.
PARTICIPANT PERSONAL NEEDS The adapted recreation staff and volunteers provide leadership for the program but are unable to provide assistance with self-care needs (feeding, toileting assistance, etc.). Care providers should accompany participants who need personal care. Participants who have behavioral issues may be asked to participate with an aide in attendance. Please let us know upon registration if you will be bringing your own aide as fees for aides may be waived or may vary depending on the activity. Participants should enjoy meeting new people, be able to function in a group setting and need to be able to adjust to new routines and environments. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Boise Parks and Recreation offers financial scholarships to qualified youth and adults with disabilities. To find out if you qualify to receive a scholarship, which will help pay for a class or activity, apply in advance at Fort Boise Community Center. DONATIONS WELCOME We rely on donations so that we can offer scholarships to adults with disabilities who have financial difficulties. Please send tax-deductible donations to the AdVenture Heritage Fund, Boise Parks and Recreation, 700 Robbins Road, Boise, Idaho 83702. Thank you, your support is greatly appreciated!
H VOLUNTEER H If you are age 18 and older, the AdVenture program could use your help! When you see a H by the title of a program, it means that volunteers are needed. Please consider volunteering, it’s a great way to give back to the community and someone who needs a hand. For rafting volunteers, we are seeking boat captains who have ample experience on class III/IV whitewater. If you would like to volunteer your talents, please contact Sonya Buchholz at 208-608-7681 or by e-mail at sbuchholz@cityofboise.org.
