Not Simple: Dan Minnich, Making Adventure Accessible for Everyone

Dan Minnich is the co-founder and Executive Director of Waypoint Adventure, an organization creating outdoor adventure programs for people with disabilities in the greater Boston area and western North Carolina. Waypoint's mission is to challenge people with disabilities to discover their purpose, talents, and strengths through the transforming power of adventure. For Dan, accessibility often comes down to something simple: extending an invitation.

Rebecca and Dan explore what adventure education is and why making it accessible matters. Dan challenges common assumptions about barriers, how adventure activities become powerful teaching moments for perseverance and problem-solving, and how everyone can find success on the same adventure in different ways.
