Outreach Programs 

Challenge Mountain continues to meet the ever growing need for adaptive programs for our clientele.  In 2002, Challenge Mountain began an outreach program at Caberfae Peaks (www.caberfaepeaks.com) located outside of Cadillac, Michigan.    Wayne Foucart provides training to new volunteers, skis with existing participants and take on the challenges set before the group.   His entire family, Brenda, his wife, Jessica, his daughter, and Jack who is pictured above are actively involved with the program. 

The program began with the desire to continue the work we do with the physically disabled, mentally impaired, and at risk youth.  The program allows a large following of volunteers to provide adaptive ski services in the Cadillac area.  The program is administered by Wayne Foucart, who is the Vice President of the Challenge Mountain Board members.

When approached with the idea, Caberfae Peaks enthusiastically agreed to allow our clientele to ski free of charge, keeping with our philosophy of not adding to the financial burden families face.  The staff at Caberfae Peaks is very helpful, accommodating to the clientele, and very much appreciated by all involved.  We thank them for their contribution and the ability to meet the growing need of people with physical or emotional challenges to help develop a stronger sense of self esteem, confidence, and dignity. 

The program continues to grow at a dramatic rate with new volunteers and clients on a weekly basis.  If you would like to schedule an appointment, please call Wayne at 231-779-7791.  

To expedite your request, please email Wayne at adaptivebum@yahoo.com.
