Based in North Lake Tahoe . . . . "Achieve Tahoe" leads the way in adaptive sports and recreation for people with disabilities. With over 50 years experience, the trained staff and volunteers guide students in discovering life without limits. The specialized adaptive equipment and teaching methods allow us to accommodate almost ANYone with ANY disability. We help turn tragedy into triumph by instilling in participants the knowledge that it's not their disabilities, but their abilities that count.

Our Mission is to provide affordable inclusive physical and recreational activities that build health and confidence.

Brief History In 1967 Jim Winthers, a World War II Veteran of the 10th Mountain Division and Director of the Soda Springs Ski School, brought together a group of Vietnam Veterans to support each other as they learned to cope with their disabilities. These Veterans taught themselves and others how to ski. From there, our organization was born.

"Achieve Tahoe" has continued its rehabilitation orientation and remains dedicated to the belief that sports are a vital part of the process in which individuals with disabilities gain self-confidence, mobility, and greater independence. Our programs promote education, socialization and employment.

Family Orientation We encourage the whole family to participate in many of our programs and activities. This can strengthen family bonds while ending the isolation of individuals with disabilities by uniting families through recreational activities.
