Our Supporters and Partners

Thank you to our generous supporters

Thanks to the generous contributions from our dedicated supporters, we are able to fulfill our mission of using outdoor adventures to work with Chicago children, youth, and young adults to have a lasting positive impact on their communities and become healthy adults by teaching effective social skills and strong leadership skills, increasing participants’ sense of possibility, and fostering a sense of empowerment and personal responsibility. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our longstanding supporters who have generously provided us with funding, invaluable partnerships, and so much more over the years.
