It’s not unusual for the Watercraft Journal to promote an upcoming PWC event – whether its a group ride, an endurance race, or the next action-packed closed-course race weekend, WCJ works to help spread the word for event organizers and fill in the missing information for potential participants.
Today, however, we’ve got something a little bit different for you. Although PWCs are a part of the mix in this upcoming event, it could be said that they play a minor role – and WCJ is still 100% behind and in support of this event, and any similar events
This coming Saturday, June 7, Arizona Adaptive Water Sports will be hosting “Everyone Day” at Bartlett Lake.
The event begins at 9 a.m. and runs through 3 p.m., and during that time, attendees will have a chance to water ski, wake surf, wake board, fish, kayak, go tubing, and more. What makes this outing stand out, is that it makes these activities available – and possible – for those who may never have had the chance to enjoy those activities before.
Arizona Adaptive Water Sports – and similar organizations WCJ has noted in other states around the country – provide “opportunities for kids and adults with any disability to have life-changing moments on the water.”
By hosting, and facilitating adaptive sports, these organizations open up these activities – and the rewards, friendships, excitement and fun that go along with them – to a whole new population.
A little snooping through AAWS’s social media feeds highlights some locations and names that many WCJ readers may be familiar with: along with outings at Bartlett Lake, the organization has hosted similar events at Crazy Horse Campground, where none other than Chris Hagest can be found volunteering for safety detail aboard his PWC.
And speaking of volunteering, AAWS makes it easy to step up and take part, with a “volunteer” button right on their Facebook page, as well as more volunteering information and a full calendar of upcoming 2025 AAWS events, including an Abilities Expo (Sept. 5-7), Kayaking Antelope Canyon (Oct. 3), another Everyone Day – this time on Lake Powell (Oct. 4) and much more.
Be sure to check out the AAWS website and social media feed for more information, including information on volunteering and registration as well as the full calendar of events.
