Adventures Without Limits

Mission

At Adventures Without Limits (AWL), our mission is to provide opportunity and adventure for all people, regardless of their ability level, socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, or age.

Bottom Line

In the Portland area, outdoor recreation is widely popular, yet there are many people who do not have access to outdoor recreation due to many real barriers. We commit year-round to supporting a safe community for folks to learn new skills, build confidence, make social connections, overcome obstacles, and enjoy the beautiful natural wonders of the Pacific Northwest through immersive adventures.

Your contribution supports continued access for community members to our inclusive and adaptive programs, which include kayaking, snowshoeing, camping, whitewater rafting, hiking, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, and more!

Last year, we facilitated over 85 unique programs for 1,500 members of our community, and our goal is to raise $15,000 to support our mission-driven programs in 2027!

Quote

“Thank you so much for such an incredible experience! Our group enjoyed every moment, from the excitement on the river to seeing the wildlife and simply being outdoors together.  Your team made everyone feel welcomed, safe, and encouraged throughout the entire adventure. The care, patience, and positive energy you brought to the day did not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for the experience you created for our group.”
