Bart Adaptive Sports is now a part of Vermont Adaptive - Welcome!
A Merger That Honors Legacy and Builds the Future
As of July 31, 2025, Bart Adaptive Sports Center has officially merged with and into Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports. Whether you’re an athlete and participant, volunteer instructor, donor, or supporter, everything you love about Bart Adaptive continues—now backed by a statewide organization committed to equity, access, and year-round recreation for people of all abilities.

Why We’ve Come Together
Both Vermont Adaptive and Bart Adaptive share a common mission: to provide inclusive sports and recreation for people with disabilities. By joining forces, we’re ensuring that this mission thrives in Southern Vermont and beyond—with more equipment, expanded programming and coordinated volunteer training.
This merger is about honoring the heart of Bart Adaptive while growing the opportunities for everyone.
