Help Us Give 10 Deserving Students the Trip of a Lifetime

Imagine being 12 years old and standing at the edge of the Rocky Mountains, looking out at peaks taller than anything you’ve ever seen, realizing for the first time how big—and how possible—the world can be. Research shows that experiences like outdoor expeditions and travel opportunities can transform a child’s trajectory: increasing confidence, sparking curiosity in science, and even inspiring long-term career goals. But for many students, especially those from underserved backgrounds, trips like this are completely out of reach.

That’s where we come in. As a nonprofit, we keep our trip prices as low as possible—never marking them up to cover scholarships for others—so that families only pay the true cost. Even so, some children will never have the chance to join without help. This year, we want to change that by raising enough money to send 10 students who would otherwise never have the opportunity to experience something like this.

Your support will open the door to life-changing adventure, leadership growth, and memories that last a lifetime.
