Cost is $25, and registration is required. The event is for Newtown children ages 7-18 (able bodied and disabled). To register, visit LOFAdaptiveSkiers.org.

For the last 22 yea­­rs, LOF Adaptive Skiers has been breaking down barriers for people with disabilities to participate in outdoor sports and recreation activities. Located on Lake Zoar in Sandy Hook, LOF Adaptive Skiers is a nonprofit organization serving 600 children, adults, and veterans with disabilities annually.

Its adaptive water and snow ski programs provide challenging and meaningful outdoor activities that build physical fitness, greater independence, confidence, and lasting friendships.

LOF Adaptive Skiers runs one of the largest and safest adaptive water sports programs in the country. In addition to waterskiing, wakeboarding, tubing and kayaking, LOF Adaptive Skiers offers beginner level snow ski and snowboard instruction during the winter months.
