Our mission & impact

Bringing the outdoors to everyone.

Every trip funds a bigger purpose

Kehela Camping is more than a rental business. It is the engine behind Project X. 100% of Kehela Camping's revenue funds, directly or indirectly, the research, prototyping, testing and development of our assistive mobility technology.

So when you camp with us, your weekend helps make every walkable place accessible to wheelchair users.

100%of Kehela Camping revenue goes to Project X assistive mobility development.

Why it started

An engineer who loves the outdoors

Adam Kehela is a product development engineer with a deep passion for the outdoors. Road trips across North America, hauling a trailer and finding hidden campsites, have always been his greatest joy.

Seeing people close to him live with mobility challenges changed how he sees outdoor freedom. Millions of wheelchair users have to choose between indoor maneuverability, outdoor capability, sitting, standing or climbing stairs. That led to Project X.
