Mission: Our backcountry journeys are dedicated to providing area youth with the chance to build lifelong relationships to nature – through adventure, science education, team-building, and personal discovery.
What are you fundraising for this year?
Every year we supply full and partial scholarships to student backpackers needing financial assistance. Fun Run funds are a big part of what allows us to do this. We are trying to expand our student backpacker base to include even more low income backpackers.
What impact will funds have on your mission and community?
Attracting more backpacking students from low income families allows us to introduce more people to leave-no-trace wilderness ethics and plant the seed for a lifetime of outdoor appreciation.
If you participated last year, what did you use the funds for?
WFR recertifications, instructor training day (new last year!), new water filtration systems, trip insurance.
Fundraising Goal: $6,000
