Veteran Ski Days

Veteran learn to ski days

Our C.A.R.D.S. Directors were instrumental in the development of a national military “Life on the Water” program that offers skiing, fishing, paddle boarding, and kayaking to all veterans with disabilities and their families. We supply all the equipment, instructors, boats, and volunteers free of charge to the athletes. The photos below say much more than our words. We were honored to serve our Veterans as they've served America.

USA Water Ski, the Department of Veteran Affairs, and C.A.R.D.S. will continue to work diligently together to keep supporting our adaptive military program.
