On The Edge
Giving back through life-changing experiences
AN ADAPTIVE WATER SPORTS FOUNDATION SERVING PEOPLE WITH CHALLENGES
It's all good...
- Bob Kasper (Founder)
On The Edge CF is a non profit organization that provides fun and safe adaptive water sports services to educate, to challenge and to inspire people of all ages and abilities to live a healthier lifestyle. OTE teaches people to have courage to see what’s possible for them, to improve their health, happiness and overall quality of life.
Help Make A Difference
One unique feature about OTE is the strong sense of community, camaraderie, and inclusion that participants experience from the moment they arrive. Through our programs, children and adults with special needs, military veterans, wounded service members, and their families come together to build confidence, friendships, and lasting memories through adaptive outdoor recreation. Our participants tell us over and over again how in just one day, they make lasting friends and feel connected to a nurturing, fun and empowering community. While our volunteers learn valuable life skills such as leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and service. This unique environment we create gives meaningful experiences that extend far beyond the water. We strive to leave a lasting impact on participants, veterans, families, and volunteers alike.
