A recent report from the CDC shows how much our work at Waypoint Adventure matters. It shows that 2,460,352 adults in NC have a disability. That's equal to 29% or approximately 1 in 3 adults in our state. The need is great. All people in North Carolina, REGARDLESS OF ABILITY, should have opportunities for adventure, and through them realize their strengths and abilities.  We work with school groups, social service organizations, families, and individuals to offer custom-designed adventures that meet the goals and objectives of any group or person.
