About Us
Who We Are
Our organization was founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of ability, deserves to experience the beauty of nature and all of its benefits. We aspire to create an inclusive, social community in which our participants have fun and build lasting friendships.
We enrich and transform lives by:
​
Empowering participants to witness the beauty and power of nature firsthand
​
Challenging participants to step out their comfort zones, try new activities, and build lasting skills
​
Providing a social community for participants to build new friendships and create lasting memories
​
Inspiring participants to reimagine their capabilities and develop newfound confidence
How Limitless Adventures came to be:
Limitless Adventures was founded in the wake of the pandemic, inspired by the realization that the IDD community needed a safe, welcoming way to reconnect with the outdoors and each other. What began as a monthly hike with a small group of participants has since grown into a thriving organization that now serves all of San Diego County and has established strong roots within the community.
"I am forever grateful to our participants, volunteers, and founding team for bringing such enthusiasm, heart, and joy to every event. Their unwavering dedication is what makes the Limitless community so special, continually creating a space where individuals of all ages and abilities feel seen, supported, and celebrated."​​
- Founder, Patrick Firlik​
