The mission of Northeast Passage is to create an environment where individuals with disabilities can enjoy recreation with the same freedom of choice, quality of life, and independence as their non-disabled peers. We do this by developing, delivering, and evaluating innovative barrier-free recreation and health promotion programs.

We listen carefully to consumers’ needs, think creatively to solve problems, attend to details, work as a team and explore the possibilities!
