Adaptive sports and recreation

Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute Adaptive Sports and Recreation offers a wide variety of recreational and competitive sports programs for youth and adults in northeastern Minnesota, northwestern Wisconsin, and the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

We partner with people of all ages and abilities to pursue their goals to live, work, learn and play by providing adaptive sports and recreation programs. These activities are adapted to enhance participants’ independence, improve self-confidence and encourage an active, healthy lifestyle. We also host a number of special events that provide unique opportunities to learn and experience adaptive sports and recreation. We offer both individual and team sports for all skill levels and age groups.
