This FREE exciting community event is especially designed to serve individuals
in wheelchairs, including Iraq, Afghanistan and other military Veterans (and
their families). Non-wheelchair users with minor Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD,
blindness, deafness or debilitating illnesses are also welcome to push a
wheelchair or join in the event. Fueled with a hearty breakfast, we embark on
this five mile naturalist lead hike through Point Mugu State Park. The trail
includes rocky terrain, slopes and mud or stream crossings in times of wet
weather. These natural obstacles provide challenges and opportunities for
team-work and trust building. The event culminates at the beach with a family
style barbeque and use of specialized beach wheelchairs. All who participate
will benefit from the physical challenge, social interaction and camaraderie
offered from this unique outdoor adventure!
Transportation to and from the event will be provided from locations in both
Woodland Hills and Newbury Park.
