About

Access Adventures is Melwood’s Travel Program designed for people with disabilities who are at least 18 years old.

Destinations

Some vacations are based out of the Melwood Recreation Center, a 108-acre property in Southern Maryland.

This facility provides accessible cabins and meeting spaces and programming, including horseback riding, challenge courses, and swimming, all designed to be adaptable for individuals with special needs. These vacations range from overnights to weeklong retreats; some themed to the season, holiday, or activities.

Access Adventures offers a variety of destination experiences, including cruises, beach resorts, and vacations to Atlantic City, Disney World, New York City, and more. Some trips specifically designed for travelers in certain age groups (young adults and seniors). Others have itineraries explicitly developed for travelers seeking a more active vacation or a more laid-back and relaxed experience.
