Special Populations Learning Outdoor Recreation and Education (SPLORE) provides adaptive cross-country ski equipment for participants with disabilities and provides instruction to meet the skill level of children and adults with special needs. Their programs give people with physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial barriers the opportunity to participate in life-enhancing outdoor recreation. The grant from REI allowed SPLORE to offer adaptive cross-country skiing at a significantly reduced cost to 70-100 individuals with disabilites and special needs that live on low or fixed incomes and reside in Salt Lake County.

• CANOEING - All lessons and trips include canoeing equipment, trained instructors, environmental education, and meals for overnight trips.

• RAFTING - SPLORE has facilitated rafting adventures for over 5000 people of varying abilities since 1979. Beginning in 2005, SPLORE is joining with Holiday Expeditions of Salt Lake City to provide many of SPLORE's rafting trips. SPLORE continues to utilize over 100 volunteers annually in the rafting program. All SPLORE rafting trips are lead by Utah licensed river guides, and include volunteer support, pre-trip orientation meeting, meals, rafting equipment, and medical support as needed. Participants provide their own personal gear and transportation to and from either SPLORE's Moab office or the designated launch or take-out site.
