The Outdoor Program was established in 2010 with the main goal of getting more kids, families, and adults outdoors. We offer a wide assortment of classes, with something for every age and every skill level. We have a diverse staff with varied backgrounds and experiences who are excited to share their knowledge with you. Let’s get outdoors and adjust our altitude!

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Outdoor Programs is quite simple – “Get more folks outdoors.” The rewards of doing so are numerous: building and strengthening the community, increasing health and fitness, spreading environmental stewardship, learning lifelong skills, overcoming challenges, and gaining a sense of accomplishment. We focus on breaking down barriers that can often inhibit youth, families, and older adults from participating in the outdoors (lack of equipment, limited experience, financial & time constraints, transportation concerns, etc). Using this knowledge, we strive to offer safe, diverse, affordable, and inclusive programming for a wide variety of ages.
