Disabled in the Wild: A Beginner's Guide to Chronic Illness & Disabilities in the Outdoors
Date and Time: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. MT
Description: In this program, disability advocate Amy Denton-Luke introduces the basics of learning how to enjoy the outdoors with chronic illness and disabilities, including choosing the right activities and outdoor spaces that are the best fit for our abilities, exploring the adaptations and equipment that may increase our enjoyment and decrease our recovery time, and finding the right approach and mindset to outdoor recreation that takes into account the reality of our bodies and limitations while also keeping our focus on the big picture goal: simply enjoying our time in the outdoors.
This program also invites non-disabled folks to learn what challenges and specific considerations disabled and chronically ill folks may have to navigate as they adventure into the outdoors, as well as what accessibility in outdoor spaces means to people with different disabilities. Embracing a more neutral and balanced view of life with disability, Amy encourages all folks to leave behind notions of Supercrips and Inspiration, and reminds us that it is not about "overcoming" our disabilities, it is simply about working with our unique bodies and finding what works best for us.
Guest Speaker: Amy Denton-Luke, writer and disability advocate
