We're excited to launch Outdoor Adventures, an expanded ‘Outdoors for Everyone’ program made possible through funding from the William Penn Foundation. This new chapter is designed with accessibility built in from the start with accommodations, supports, and flexible participation options. Outdoor Adventures creates opportunities for disabled people to connect with nature, community, arts, and wellness through inclusive outdoor experiences. From accessible trails and adaptive activities to communication access, we're committed to ensuring everyone can participate, explore, and belong.
Through inclusive activities, thoughtful accommodations, and a commitment to removing barriers, we'll continue connecting disabled people because the outdoors should belong to all of us.

September Scavenger Hunt
Join Disability Pride Pennsylvania for the Philly Outdoor Adventures Selfie Scavenger Hunt. Explore the city, discover iconic landmarks, celebrate local favorites, and show us what outdoor adventure looks like to you.
Take a selfie, post it to Instagram, tag @disabilitypridepa, and use #OutdoorAdventures so we can follow along!
Complete the hunt in any order and at your own pace. Visit one location or challenge yourself to find them all. Selfies may be taken from any safe, accessible viewing point. A friend, family member, or support person can join your photo or take it for you. People that finish the selfie scavenger hunt will receive two FREE tickets to our Disability Pride After Dark party on October 23rd! More details are coming soon.

The Circuit Trails is a vast regional trail network in the Greater Philadelphia and southern New Jersey region.
The Circuit Trails can be used for walking, biking, running, strolling, rolling. It connects communities, providing endless opportunities for recreation, relaxing and commuting.
Currently 378 miles are constructed and, when complete, the network will comprise 800 miles. One of the Circuit Coalition’s goals is to construct 500 miles of trail by 2025.
