what is AWS

Although just recently incorporated as a non-profit society back in May of 2009, the Accessible Wilderness Society
 is an idea that began over 25 years ago.

 Dan Bauer, the President and Founder of the AWS was injured in a motor vehicle accident in 1985.  It was during his initial stay in rehab that he decided that one day he wanted to help make the outdoors and wilderness more accessible to people with physical challenges. 

Thus the plan for the "Resort and Campground" began.
