End-of-Year Celebration & Raffle Fundraiser

May 28th, 2026

Join us as we celebrate a year of growth, adventure, and achievement!

Our annual End-of-Year Celebration brings together students, families, and supporters for a potluck dinner, student recognitions, and a slideshow the incredible experiences our youth have shared from 10-day backpacking expeditions to 1,000-foot rappels. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect, share meal, and celebrate the impact of outdoor learning in our community, all while raising critical funds for our program!
