How does RISE support participant safety?

RISE’s Sport Protection and Participant Safety Manual sets requirements for worker screening and training, supervision, equipment, emergency response, and conduct. Read the policy for the rules that apply to participants, staff, and volunteers.

How do I report a safety concern?

Call 911 for immediate danger or a medical emergency. For other concerns, follow the policy’s reporting instructions and use the listed protection contacts. Some concerns require reports to public authorities and Move United. Do not wait for RISE approval before making a required report.

What is RISE Adaptive Sports?

RISE Adaptive Sports is the public name of RISE Adventures, Inc., a disability-led 501(c)(3) that has provided adaptive recreation in the Dallas–Fort Worth area since 2007.

Are RISE programs free?

Current public RISE programs are free to participate in. RSVP shows the current program details and reservation steps. Contact RISE before assuming that travel, park admission, lodging, or another third-party expense is covered.

Who can ask to participate?

People interested in adaptive recreation can review the public program choices and ask RISE about activity fit and support. RISE does not use a public list of medical conditions as the website eligibility rule. Individual activities can have different safety, equipment, or support considerations.

What happens before a first visit?

Start in RSVP: create or use your account, add the household members who may attend, choose a program, review the current dates, and complete your RSVP. Contact RISE if you need help choosing a first activity or discussing access.

Can family members, caregivers, or support people come?

RISE is designed as a family and community setting, but participation, space, supervision, and RSVP requirements can vary by activity and date. Add household members in RSVP and review the current program information before the visit.

Where do programs happen?

Water and outdoor programs are based at Meadowmere Park on Lake Grapevine. Gym programs are based at the Georgia Farrow Recreation Center in Irving. Review your RSVP confirmation for the location before you travel.

How do registration, waivers, dates, and RSVP work?

RSVP contains accounts, household records, current program details, required forms, waivers, and available dates. The public website helps you discover RISE; it does not keep a second registration process.

What equipment or support does RISE provide?

Equipment and volunteer support depend on the activity, date, and current program plan. Review the program information in RSVP and contact RISE about equipment, transfers, communication, or another access question before you arrive.

What should I bring?

What to bring varies by activity and conditions. Use the current program and date information in RSVP. If preparation instructions are unclear, contact RISE rather than relying on an older website page or social post.

What happens when weather or conditions change?

Water, outdoor, and travel conditions can change a program. Check the current date and messages in RSVP. Contact RISE if you are unsure whether a program will occur.

Is there one age rule for every program?

The public site does not publish one age rule for every RISE activity. Check the current program details in RSVP and ask RISE about activity fit, equipment, supervision, and support.

Does RISE provide transportation?

The public site does not promise transportation for every program or visitor. If transportation is a barrier, contact RISE about the current program and available options before making plans.

How do I volunteer?

Review the public volunteer roles, then contact RISE about the current schedule, preparation, supervision, and any role-specific qualifications. Use RSVP when RISE publishes a volunteer opportunity.

How does accessible camping work?

RISE has five primitive campsites at Meadowmere Park. Use the camping page to plan your stay. RSVP provides current availability, reservation steps, site assignment, rules, and access details.
