“The instructors and volunteers are the most compassionate and generous people I have ever met in my life.”

“NEHSA is the best.”

“It’s been a pleasure and a wonderful experience. I hope to do it again.”

“Super great program. Thank you very much.”

“Because of this program I feel I am born again. I feel more alive now that I ever have been.”

“My life is completely improved because of adaptive sports. I am grateful for VA Healthcare and adaptive sports.”

“As usual all volunteers and personnel in charge have outdone themselves again. This is my fourth year including Mt. Sunapee’s and each time it is better and better. Everyone is great. I always feel like they are my family.”

“Since my injury-best week that I could ever have imagined.”

“The greatest part of this great and wonder-filled week is the camaraderie by all-VA volunteers, vets, and care givers.”

“This program instills self esteem and self actualization. The people at NEHSA really care and allow us to keep on keeping on.”

“Having M.S. is rather challenging, and having access to this program is very beneficial indeed. I look forward to attending these adaptive sports events. As a Veteran it is quite essential.”

“Very great program with proper instruction and equipment for everyone involved. Thank you.”

“The kayaking instructors were fabulous. I loved having the opportunity to kayak. We can’t afford to purchase kayaks yet but it’s on the wish list. We really appreciate the opportunity to do this activity with professionals.”

“The US Government needs to invest a great deal toward these programs and reduce the need for disabled vets to rely on medications for mobility. PT and adaptive sports will curve the suicide rate and increase the health for Veterans.”

“I have never experienced the environment of adaptive sports but now I can see and understand how I can participate in sports that I love and could never participate in by using this program and I love it!”

“This program is so amazing. I am able to do more active things than I normally do. I love to stay active. This program is the best thing in my life!”

“Participating in adaptive sports improves my life, through physical fitness activities, as well as for my spirit and energizes me to continue to improve with much gratitude in life.”

“As the spouse of a disabled vet, this is a wonderful program for us to participate in together.”

“Great program-great to meet other “challenged” athletes.”

“The sooner you get people out and active, the more likely they are to continue and gain health and confidence.”

“To have some time away from responsibility is great! To learn and practice a new skill; awesome.”

“I had a really good time kayaking and the people helping were amazing.”

“Recreation should do more advertising of this program.”

“The people are great! Friendly and safe atmosphere. Appreciate you doing this”

“To be free of alcohol and drugs is a learning experience. I think of all the risks and things never done. I’m thinking of fun and wholesome enjoyment. Life is real and that is better.”
