Heading into the long weekend with a little more summer on our minds.

OAS programs are taking a break this weekend, and our office will be closed through Monday for Labor Day.

There’s still plenty of summer left, though! Three Paddling Fridays remain this season: September 11, 18, and 25th. Come spend one of them with us on the water!

Community means something different to everyone. Here’s what it means to OAS Program Director Carly!

Behind every OAS program are trained staff and volunteers, specialized adaptive equipment, education, transportation, scholarships, and the resources it takes to deliver high-quality outdoor experiences for people with disabilities.

First Chair helps support it all.

On October 8, our community will come together for the 7th Annual First Chair Gala to raise critical funds for OAS programs and the work that makes them possible.

Remote bidding opens in late September. Stay tuned for more!

Image Descriptions: 1. A skier in a sitski carves through slushy snow while another monoskier follows behind. Snow sprays around them. Visible text reads, “Behind every O-A-S experience...” 2. Four photos show sitskis lined up on snow, a mountain bike wheel being worked on, an adaptive mountain bike being adjusted, and an athlete with an instructor at a winter program. Visible text reads, “...are people, equipment, access, and education.” 3. A woman in a black dress sits in her wheelchair beside a long table displaying auction items at the First Chair Gala. The First Chair logo appears above her. Visible text reads, “The First Chair gala supports it all.”

Community means something different to everyone. For many in the OAS community, SUPPORT is a big part of the answer.

Video Description: A series of people appear in quick cuts, speaking to the camera in outdoor settings. The video alternates between eight community members, including people seated in wheelchairs and others standing or seated outdoors. Open captions display their words throughout.

One more day until OAS wheels are rolling out!

Tomorrow, the OAS crew heads out for the 2026 Cycle Oregon Road Rally, joining riders from across Oregon for three days and 140+ miles on the roads around Southern Oregon.

We’re ready to ride. See you out there!

Video Description: A tandem cyclist pair rides along a paved road through the forest, filmed from behind as they move through the trees. Wind rushes around the riders and is the only sound in the video.

“He keeps talking about what a fun day he had, and that means everything to us.” - parent of an OAS Paddling participant, Summer 2026

We love hearing what sticks with athletes and families after a day on the water. And there are still three more chances to make some paddling memories with OAS this summer!

Join us September 11, 18, and 25 for our final Friday paddling trips of the season.

A quick scheduling note: we won’t have our regular Friday paddling trips on August 28 or September 4 while our team is busy with other programming.

Head to our program calendar to learn more and sign up.

Community means something different to everyone. For many in the OAS community, it starts with the experiences we share and the people we share them with!

Video Description: A series of people appear in quick cuts, speaking to the camera in different outdoor settings. Some stand or sit outside OAS facilities, while others are shown in outdoor recreation settings, including a person seated on an adaptive mountain bike on a forested trail. Open captions display their words throughout.

Racers, start your... engines?

On Saturday, September 12, OAS will take on the 2026 Kendall Auto Soap Box Derby at River’s Edge Golf Course, and we have particularly ambitious plans for this year’s cart.

We’re keeping the details under wraps for now... but what we CAN tell you is that we need the OAS community to show up BIG. Come find us at the OAS tent, scope out the competition, and help us send Team OAS down the course with the loudest cheering section there.

And trust us, showing up for this one counts!

Racing kicks off at 3 p.m. We’ll see you there!

Image Description: Two helmeted riders race an O-A-S soapbox cart made from a retired sit-ski around a wet course lined with hay bales as spectators cheer from the sidelines.

Community means something different to everyone. For OAS volunteer Casey, it’s about the potential of what we can accomplish together.

Video Description: Casey, an O-A-S volunteer and mountain bike guide, stands in the O-A-S office speaking to the camera. Casey wears a blue O-A-S hat and a lighter blue bike jersey with "Turns and Berms". The video cuts between him speaking and footage of mountain bikers riding together on forested trails. Open captions display his words throughout.
