Splore is thrilled to announce three exciting new programs in 2009.

Outdoor Recreation Insurance

Through membership benefits, we now offer a new way to enjoy and expand your Splore experience. For our first member benefit we are offering eligibility for enrollment under Splore's new group Outdoor Recreation Insurance (ORI) policy. This ORI benefit provides low-cost, accident insurance coverage for snow, mountain, and paddle sport enthusiasts. ORI pays benefits directly to you for incurred ambulance and medical expenses. Read more information about our Splore ORI benefit or contact Splore's Executive Director, John Librett at jlibrett@splore.org.

I Can Do It, You Can Do It! Program

Splore has been selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human, Office on Disability as a national pilot site for the I Can Do It, You Can Do It! Program. The goal of this program is to improve the health of the six million American children who have disabilities by encouraging increased physical activity and healthy nutritional behaviors. The I Can Do It, You Can Do It! Program runs as an eight week mentored program so we will be looking for volunteers who can be mentors for positive physical activity behavior through active outdoor recreation. We anticipate this program will begin spring 2009. If you are interested in participating please contact Splore's Program Director, Tim Stempel at tims@splore.org.
