Adventure therapy gets Easter Seals'
kids up and doing things other kids wouldn't dream
about. The children are asked, “what is it you’d
like to do but feel you can’t?”. That’s where Kid’s
Quest starts. Sea kayaking, whale watching,
snowmobiling, rock climbing, bowling, tennis … these are
just a few of the activities Easter Seals kids have
enjoyed through the Kid’s Quest program.
Kid’s Quest is
motivated by the pride and confidence a child gains when on
Monday morning they tell their classmates that they spent
the weekend watching humpback whales swim around their
sea kayak, or that they went rock climbing!
It's about enabling
children with physical disabilities to achieve the incredible -
and about what this can mean for a child accustomed to often
being excluded. Above all, Kid's Quest captures the "wow"
factor!
Aliant is a proud
sponsor of Kid's Quest.
