Hi everyone!

We're raising funds to help Peyton attend the 23 day Teens Westward Bound summer program and we need your support!

This isn’t just another summer trip. This is the experience of a lifetime, one that Peyton has dreaming about for a few years now. She had to apply and be nominated from a prior Teens Westward Bound traveler and as this is her LAST year to qualify due to the program’s age/grade cutoff. It’s her last chance to embark on a journey that will shape her future.

What is Teens Westward Bound?

Teens Westward Bound is more than a travel program, it’s a 23-day discovery across the "Great American West", where teens explore breathtaking landscapes, forge lifelong friendships, and embark on a path of self-discovery. This adventure removes everyday distractions (including no cell phones) so participants can be fully present, curious, and engaged with the world around them.

Imagine a summer of:

-Exploring national parks, cities, and iconic American places

-Making deep, meaningful friendships with teens from across the country

-Learning through real world experiences instead of screens

-Growing confident, independent, and open hearted

-Unplugged adventure and true discovery

This trip isn’t a vacation, it’s a chance for Peyton to learn WHO she is, what she loves, and where she wants to go next in life. Past participants say it’s one of the most impactful experiences they’ve ever had.

Why We’re Raising Money:

The total cost of the Teens Westward Bound program includes tuition, travel, lodging, activities, and essential gear. While Peyton is thrilled to participate, the financial burden is a barrier right now and we don’t want her to miss this "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity.

Your donation will help cover:

Program tuition and travel fees

Equipment and supplies

Meals and logistical costs

Any extras that make this adventure safe and enjoyable

How You Can Help:

Every contribution...BIG or small...brings Peyton one step closer to the adventure she’s worked toward and deserves. If you can’t give right now, sharing this fundraiser with your friends and family means the world too.

Let’s help Peyton travel, learn, grow, and return with a heart full of memories and a spirit ready to take on the world.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and belief in young people chasing big dreams!
