Campus life

Adaptive Recreation

Adaptive equipment, modified programming and one-on-one support for recreation and intramural sports.

Home / Adaptive Recreation

What's available

Adaptive equipment — handcycles, sport wheelchairs, an adaptive kayak fleet for the Porter River — is available to check out at the same desk and same cost as any other recreation equipment, not a separate paid program.

Modifying an intramural sport

Recreation staff will work with a student to modify rules or equipment for a specific intramural sport rather than defaulting to a separate adaptive league, since most requests turn out to be about one specific accommodation.

In and around Porter Falls

Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.

The practical details

Equipment: Handcycles, sport wheelchairs, adaptive kayaks. Cost: Same as standard recreation membership. Where: Ironhouse Athletic Center and the Riverfront Trail. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.

If you have a question

The office behind this is Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.

Fictional information

UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
