Adapted Physical Activity Camps and Programs: a Mixed Methods Project

Through a one- week camp or a Multi-week program participants with disabilities will be introduced to a variety of adapted or inclusive sport and recreation activities that are offered within the Calgary community (e.g., sledge hockey, wheelchair sports, rock climbing, gymnastics, etc.). During this time we would like to learn about participants physical activity levels using Activity monitors. Using quality of life and participation questionnaires, we are hoping to determine if the camp, participation in physical activity affects quality of life, and quality participation. Additionally, we want to determine if the camp could facilitate a pathway to regular participation in physical activity.
