Outdoor leisure activities (OLAs) are beneficial and the study of graduate students with disabilities remains under-researched in this area. This is happening when enrollment, dropout rates, and late degree completion of students with disabilities in graduate programs in American universities is on the rise. This exploratory case study approach uses participatory action research framed in photovoice to examine the authors' graduate school and outdoor leisure activity experiences. The authors engaged in collaborative self-examinations of their graduate school period to identify the impact of OLAs on their wellbeing. Three themes emerged from the study: countering the narrative of disability deficit through the collage, building of inclusive beneficial OLAs, and normalized life with assistive technology. It is important to include graduate students with disabilities in addressing barriers to OLAs in order to promote their academic performance and welfare.
