Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) is hosting a get-together at the Coffield Center (west end of Sisters High School parking lot) on December 28 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. with Oregon Adaptive Sports (OAS).

Sisters skiers, snowboarders, and snow sports lovers will be able to talk to OAS staff and volunteers about participation in the OAS Hoodoo program this winter. OAS offers ski and snowboard lessons for people with disabilities at Hoodoo Ski Resort beginning January 12 and running through April 2, 2023. These lessons are a unique experience for each individual, and OAS has equipment designed to accommodate a wide range of skill levels.

Volunteers are the heart and core of Oregon Adaptive Sports and the OAS Hoodoo program is looking for volunteers. If you are an intermediate skier or snowboarder or someone who would like to volunteer off mountain for OAS, you can get more information at the December 28 get-together at SPRD.

There is no minimum time commitment for volunteers, and OAS provides excellent initial orientation and training for both new and returning volunteers. Volunteers work closely with an OAS instructor to best support the adaptive athlete and insure everyone has a positive experience.
