Empowering Individuals Through the Healing Power of the Great Outdoors

Our story begins with an idea…

Disabled Outdoorsmen was founded by Weston Jenkins, inspired by his cousin, TJ DuPerier, who has muscular dystrophy. Growing up with TJ, Weston saw the daily struggles he faced and was inspired by his ability to adapt and find joy in the outdoors despite his challenges. This inspired Weston to create Disabled Outdoorsmen—an organization that provides adaptive outdoor experiences for individuals with disabilities, making the outdoors accessible to all.

I was inspired by the idea to give TJ and others like him the opportunity to explore the outdoors, and give people who have different abilities the feeling that they can do anything they want to do.

Disabled Outdoorsmen has a simple vision:

To help people with disabilities—whether amputees, those with Down syndrome, or others—experience the healing power of the outdoors.

The organization aims to break down barriers and prove that the impossible is possible, allowing participants to gain confidence and create lasting memories.

Through adaptive equipment, support, and community, Disabled Outdoorsmen offers transformative experiences that make the outdoors accessible to everyone. Join us in making a difference and helping people embrace new adventures in the great outdoors.
