Adaptive Adventure: How Catalyst Sports is Making the Outdoors Accessible

Life in Motion

Outdoor adventure should be for everyone—and Catalyst Sports is making sure of it. In this episode, we sit down with Maggie Smith and Emily Moscoe to discuss how Catalyst Sports is breaking down barriers for individuals with physical disabilities. From adaptive climbing and mountain biking to kayaking and hiking, Catalyst Sports is building an inclusive community that gives people access to the life-changing power of adventure.

Emily shares how she combined her background in occupational therapy with her passion for climbing, while Maggie reflects on how Catalyst helped her rediscover her love for the outdoors. They discuss the importance of community, the impact of accessibility in outdoor recreation, and how able-bodied individuals can get involved.

If you’ve ever wondered how adaptive sports work or want to learn how you can help make the outdoors more inclusive, this episode is for you!
