WINSLOW – Veterans/No Boundaries, a program of Maine Handicapped Skiing, will offer a sports and camp experience for veterans and active duty service people with physical disabilities at Camp Caribou on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 17, 18 and 19.

Veterans and their spouses or significant others can participate free in a variety of adaptive sports activities, including cycling, kayaking, fishing, golf, martial arts and wheelchair tennis.

The vets and guests will stay in camp cabins and take their meals at the camp dining hall, due to Bath Iron Works, which provided a grant to underwrite the Veterans/No Boundaries program for 2007/2008.

Maine Handicapped Skiing’s goal through Veterans/No Boundaries is to help any veteran (or active duty service man or woman) with a physical disability to learn new skills, build physical strength and gain self-confidence through participation in adaptive recreational activities. This will be the third year that Maine Handicapped Skiing has offered the summer program.

Veterans/No Boundaries is coordinated by a volunteer planning committee that includes numerous veterans, local business people and Maine Handicapped Skiing staff. Several veterans serving on the committee are participants and/or volunteers at Maine Handicapped Skiing for winter and summer sports activities.

Maine Handicapped Skiing also offers a winter Veterans/No Boundaries program at Sunday River Ski Resort and Sunday River Inn and Cross Country Ski Center. The next program will be offered in February 2008.
