Charity Mission

Power To Be builds community by removing barriers and inviting everyone to explore possibilities in nature. Their vision is to create a world where all can experience the transformative power of the great outdoors. Nature belongs to everyone, and everyone belongs in nature.

 

Why is it important?

Believing nature can change lives, Power To Be began in 1998 in Victoria, British Colombia with the vision to help people living with disabilities or other barriers to explore and enjoy nature. Annually they facilitate over 400 inclusive and accessible programs and activities such as kayaking, camping, hiking, yoga and much more. 

How do they do it?

Power To Be breaks down barriers to outdoor access by providing inclusive nature-based programs for youth, families and adults living with physical or cognitive disabilities or social and economic barriers. Through adaptive equipment, skilled guidance, and tailored activities, they ensure participants can safely explore and connect with the outdoors. Volunteers play a vital role in these efforts, offering their time, expertise, and enthusiasm to support participants, enhance program delivery, and create a welcoming, empowering environment.

Power To Be’s diverse programs provide outdoor experiences tailored to individuals of all abilities and backgrounds. Their adaptive recreation initiatives range from kayaking and hiking to camping and paddleboarding, ensuring participants can engage meaningfully with nature. These programs emphasize skill-building, personal growth, and community connection, creating opportunities for adventure, empowerment, and a sense of belonging in the great outdoors.

How you can #TravelKindly:

  • Reserve a stay at Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa where every stay gives back. Each stay includes a donation to the Power To Be. Reserve Now. 
  • Throughout the year Power To Be hosts pre-scheduled days where you can join a give back day and support the maintenance of their Prospect Lake site. This might include landscaping the gardens, trail maintenance in the forest or other small physical activities as required. Kind Travelers are encouraged to email [email protected] and ask about pre-scheduled volunteer days. 
  • If you’re a B.C. local, Power To Be offers a myriad of longer term volunteer opportunities. Whether you want to expand your knowledge of accessibility, apply your outdoor skills to connect with their participants, or just spend time outside connecting with others, there is a role for you
