Craig Kennedy is frequently seen wheeling around Steamboat, and also around the Old Town Hot Springs. Craig is a member, and he earned his membership through a trade by vacuuming the pools and cleaning the fitness machines.

Kennedy is in a wheelchair, after a skiing accident at Steamboat when he was 23 years old. He still skis Steamboat in a sit-ski as often as he can. He stays strong by working out in the Fitness Center of the OTHS. He does a lot of sit ups to work on his core, “So that I can do everything I do a little bit better.” He also works on his biceps, triceps, and lats. The highlight of his workout is the soak afterwards. “That’s what gets me through the workout: the hot pools.”

Kennedy says he never used to hang out at the Old Town Hot Springs, before the remodel. But his company, Access Anything, was asked to look at a site plan review and make recommendations on access. “The Old Town Hot Springs went above and beyond to make people with disabilities feel welcome.”
