Accessibility Event Hiker Registration - June 7th, 2025 @ 8am - 12pm

FTAccess is a program of the Florida Trail Association that provides hiking experiences to individuals who would not be able to hike on their own. Through hiking and spending time outdoors, our goal is to enhance the lives of participants by providing an opportunity to take risks in a safe and supportive environment. Our core belief is that, for a person with a disability, the opportunity to experience the thrill of accomplishment can be a life-affirming experience. We are committed to including the families and friends of our participants, volunteers, and partner organizations in our community.

Anyone who believes they would benefit from the Joelette is welcome to utilize this program. We do not require you to disclose your disability and we only ask for details that would ensure we can provide a safe experience for you or your loved one. Please take the time to fill out this registration form as thoroughly as possible to ensure a more personalized, safe, and enjoyable experience. This information is kept completely confidential. We will contact you with some followup questions and to work out specific details such as desired hike location, date and time, and other important information.

We will do our best to accommodate everyone that wants to participate with FTAccess. There might be situations where limitations in staffing and volunteer availability and skill set determine our ability to host events in a timely manner.
