Splore is dedicated to enriching the lives of our clients through outdoor recreation. Splore provides an outlet for people with disabilities to participate in outdoor activities in a safe and fun environment.

The Splore Scholarship Program breaks through the physical, emotional, and financial barriers that prevent people with disabilities and special needs from participating in life-enhancing outdoor recreation and education programs.

Splore works with each individual, agency, and/or family to determine a program that compliments their unique financial situation.

On average, Splore Scholarship Program participants pay approximately 1/3 of program costs. The remaining 2/3 of program costs are funded through individual and organizational donations. Individual donations constitute 75 percent of the funding Splore receives each year.

You can help change life of these participates by offering a donation. Types of donations are described below. To make an online donation through our secure, encrypted server, please click here.
