The Shake-a-Leg Miami’s mission

The Shake-a-Leg Miami’s mission is as relevant today as it was when it was founded 28 years ago. Through the power of sailing and watersports, it aims to become the premier global community for people with disabilities, their families, and members of all ages and abilities to have fun, be inspired, develop friendships, and launch dreams.
People with disabilities desire leisure, friendship, and social participation in the same way their non-disabled peers do. We make that happen! Our sailors, campers, mentors, and veterans develop independence, confidence, and fitness through participation in sailing, water & community sports, recreation, and educational programs. They inspire people in their communities and elsewhere to accept and open their hearts to a wider world of human talents and participate in the rewarding world of adaptive sports.
Shake-A-Leg Miami focuses on building an inclusive community built around water sports, the environment & personal fulfillment. With our unique lineup of adaptive water sports, we offer adults and children with physical and intellectual disabilities many ways to be involved in their communities and many ways to show who they really are.
Adult Shake Days are offered to Adult Groups and Corporate Groups looking for an outing or retreat that is fun, service-based and/or educational. Groups can decide what percentage of a half-day or full-day they want to dedicate towards recreation, service or education. Recreational activities include a boat ride, sailing, kayaking or stand-up paddle-boarding, and service activities can include a island or mangrove clean-up component or a special project can be developed for your team.
This is a great way to provide service to the community, develop communication, and team-building skills while having fun out on the water.
