Description: The Oscar Mike Program: Participate in no less than 9 rigorous, heart pumping activities, adapted to your capabilities. The sole purpose of the programming week is to show you there are no limits to what you can do! THE WEEKLY PROGRAM INCLUDES:
Basic Nutrition and Meal Planning with grocery shopping to start off the week

Adaptive Workouts in the weight training room each night
Flight Lessons in a Cessna with guidance from the instructors
UTV Driving in a Polaris RZR 1000 off-road vehicle adapted with hand-controls
Firearm Shooting using custom rifles on a known distance range
Kayaking, Paddling Boarding and Fishing from the 260 ft of lake front access
Equestrian (Horse) Therapy at Braveheart’s Therapeutic Riding
Skydiving out of a perfectly good airplane at Skydive Midwest or iFly Chicago for inclement weather conditions
Adaptive Triathlon to include a swim/kayak, cycle or hand cycle, and run/push. Distances are determined by athlete abilities
On the last evening of the program there is a “thanksgiving” family meal with the Oscar Mike staff where stories of the week are shared, and strong bonds forged. The ultimate outcome of the week is to equip each athlete with the knowledge and motivation to remain Oscar Mike in all aspects of their lives!
