High costs and a lack of resources should not keep individuals with physical challenges from being active. We collaborate with local Idaho partners to fund grants for adaptive sports equipment, training, and competition expenses.
Keep up to date on events, clinics, and everything CAF Idaho.
Idaho’s growing adaptive cycling community is a haven for riders of all ages and abilities. Through equipment and training grants, camps and clinics, and handpicked mentor matchups, CAF Idaho finds innovative ways to help Idahoans with physical challenges get active through cycling.
