Give the Gift of Summer Camp
Summer camp is an essential part of our mission to get kids outside and our scholarship fund helps eliminate the financial barrier for families. Your donation will help a child in our community get outside this summer and experience the joys of making new friends and building new skills.
Any holiday donation over $75 will be generously matched by the Western Colorado Community Foundation’s Delta Community Fund.
We’re always looking for volunteers!
- Are you a cross country skier? Have fun with students on the trail and assist our staff by organizing ski gear during field trips.
- Help teach kids to bike at school or supervise a bike field trip in Hotchkiss or Delta.
- *NEW* – our mobile climbing wall and Cedaredge Climbing Gym needs volunteers to assist with belaying and harnessing kids.
- We need help with gear organization and maintenance at our HQ in Hotchkiss.
Why Volunteer?
“I volunteer because I like to be able to show the students the beauty of cross country skiing and being able to teach them new skills. It’s really rewarding when at the end of a ski session I ask them if they had a good time and almost all of them (99%) say YES!”
Doug HomanSkis for Kids Volunteer
“I volunteer for the Skis for Kids program to give back to our community, the love of the outdoors that I have been able to experience and to share that with the next generation. Many of these students have never spent time on skis or on Grand Mesa. To hear them exclaim "This is fun!" and charge down a hill is reward in an of itself. Then to do so on a spectacular winter scene on the Mesa is priceless.”
