Rainbow Sandals Foundation is pleased to continue its ongoing support for Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra.
"DSES is a non-profit organization based in Mammoth Lakes, CA with the mission of creating and facilitating fun, inclusive, and individualized mountain sports opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. In winter, our athletes alpine ski, cross-country ski, and snowboard at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and Tamarack Cross Country Ski Center. In summer, we teach a variety of sports throughout the Eastern Sierra including road cycling, mountain biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, rock climbing, hiking, fishing, and camping. In addition to daily lessons, we offer a variety of multi-day camps including programs for servicemembers with disabilities and their families.
We offer state-of-the-art adaptive equipment and specialized teaching methodologies so that anyone with any type of disability can achieve their outdoor recreation goals. Whether a student wants to pursue competition in a given sport or simply feel the sensation of sliding down a snow-covered slope, DSES provides customized, one-on-one lessons for each athlete.
This past year, we were able to provide 2,088 mountain sports experiences to 552 participants. This includes 16 different types of recreation opportunities."
