“For 35 years, an able body was my passport to
adventure. My horizons seemed limitless, until multiple sclerosis put
me in a wheelchair. My wandering days seemed at an end. Or so I
thought. ETC rousted me into the outdoors again, with the equipment,
staff and experience to adapt to my changing needs. Imagination.
Flexibility. Fellowship. ETC's amazing volunteers have brought me back
to the campfire circle.”
-- Mathew Soyster, participant

Environmental Traveling Companions (ETC) opens the beauty and challenge of outdoor adventures to people with special needs. Every year over 2,000 people of all abilities join us to raft whitewater rivers, ski across alpine meadows, sea kayak the waters of the Golden Gate and sleep beneath the open sky. ETC trips enable participants to access the wilderness, gain environmental awareness, and share the adventure. We invite you to join us on a trip. Groups and individuals of all abilities are welcome to participate in our sea kayaking, rafting and cross-country skiing programs. Download the ETC Brochure (pdf 700k) |
