Let’s run hard after a full life!!

About Adventure Ready NW

Adventure Ready NW aims to help individuals discover what they love to do, live a full life, and become as independent as possible in pursuing their passions. While we primarily serve neurodivergent clients, our adaptive programming is well suited for those requiring special considerations whether it is Autism, Aspergers, anxiety, OCD, depression, other physical or mental limitations. We believe in 'dignity of risk' - a philosophy that everyone deserves to be encouraged and has the ability to do hard things!

Adventure Ready NW began offering programming with a small group of clients in 2020 and has grown in service, programming and scope each year since.

About Cora

For more than 15 years I have worked as a wilderness guide, guiding whitewater rafting, backpacking and rock climbing adventures. I have had the honor of being along side individuals as they step outside of their comfort zone into the challenge zone; whether that was on a five-day backpacking trip, going down a class 4 rapid or repelling over a cliff for the first time. I love seeing people push the limits of what they think possible.

When I left guiding full-time, I found a great home in special education. I met so many amazing individuals who longed to run hard after adventure. I developed and ran a recreation program at Victory Academy in Sherwood Oregon geared toward helping students take steps outside of their comfort zone. Our activities for students of all abilities ranged from walks to hikes, rock climbing to swimming, biking to kayaking adventures, over-night camps and more.

I started Adventure Ready NW in 2020 with the desire to help more individuals find what they love to do, to come along side them, and help them be as independent as possible in pursing their passion.

You will hear me talk a lot about the dignity of risk. That means that we all have the right to try…fail…and get back up and do it again.

Life is meant to be a great and daring adventure - Adventure Ready NW helps you live life to the full!
