I couldn’t have had a greater experience. Everyone was so unbelievably kind and I was made to feel welcome from the very second I arrived. It was such a fantastic weekend.
I didn’t know if I would manage to ski, I have never found a sport I could do or that met my needs. I was dreaming this might be the sport I can do as I love water. I couldn’t be more thrilled I could do it and felt so supported in figuring out how to make it possible.
I haven’t stopped speaking about it since I was with you.Thank you for your care, consideration and kindness. I had no idea how much I needed to find Access Adventures and I can’t wait to ski with you more!

The smiles on both my boys faces were as big as they could get. As a parent, it’s amazing to go somewhere that has been created for people with disabilities but then makes you feel like your disability no longer exists. We all love it, especially Jasper!

Access Adventures is the most remarkable place and makes my summer! I can't say thank you enough to everyone who runs it. I've learnt so much from attending and increased my independence. I love the attitude of everyone and the lack of red tape! The atmosphere and approach is a credit to Jane, Clare and Tim. Thank you

It was epic trying something new - seated waterskiing. What an amazing group of people. The staff & volunteers are amazing, they make you feel safe and at home with lots of laughs. I loved the progression, understanding how stuff works and how to react on the water. I can’t wait till season starts next year!

"The last time I felt free was when I waterskied. I remember going fast behind a boat, the air going above me. I remember going across the wake and outside the wake. It's bumpy. I was very excited, water splashing quickly past me. The rev of the boat engine, the smell of the trees.
To me, freedom is amazing. It allows me to be out of my chair."
Thank you all for making him feel this way. You are truly remarkable people and you have made a huge impact on both his and our lives.

Just an email to say a massive thank you for yesterday! We had a brilliant time and the families loved being on the water and trying out all the activities. I had so many compliments throughout the day my favourite being “This is the bestest day of my life” from Michael aged 7.
We couldn’t have done it without your wonderful team so please do extend our thanks to them!
We look forward to coming back in 2024!

Dear team.
Thank you very much for the brilliant day at Access Adventures on Friday, the 11th of August 2023.
It was a fantastic occasion! Really good to meet the Access Adventures staff and to meet other visually, impaired people willing to have a go at something different. The staff were kind and supportive. The training was brief but sufficient. Loads of encouragement throughout the day.
Please thank the cook in the catering shack for providing so much, food and a wonderful variety.
I look forward to returning another day, to have another go, but maybe to push the boundary a little bit.
Thanks again.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to Whizz Kids and all the staff from Access Adventures for such an incredible day today. We have truly made some amazing family memories and George had an awesome day trying out the water sports he never thought he’d ever get to do.
Thank you to everyone for making today possible. We are truly very grateful.

After a very tough winter, all I could keep focusing on was my ski holiday with Access Adventures and what a trip it was! I had a fabulous time and my skiing improved alot.
There were lots of laughs and of course the obligatory meltdown/tears on day 5 where I lost all confidence on the icy part but after some hugs, encouragement and wise words of wisdom everything came back and was off again!
Everyone got on, supported, encouraged and picked each other up metaphorically and physically! The party nights were hilarious, we all got cheered when we did karaoke together, we drank the bar dry of rose wine, there were the deep chats with people who just get it and was just a nice break from the world. These are truely magical trips which i am so greatful for. My body held up surprisingly well, but i have defo crashed since getting home!
The mountains will forever feel like home and nothing beats sharing them with amazing friends. Til next time, the indoor ski slope will have to do!
