Become a Sponsor
This year, we've set our most ambitious fundraising goal yet: $120,000 raised to support access to outdoor education!
In 2025, we served more people than ever, reaching over 7,600 people across each of our campuses and programs. Our Outdoor Education Specialists work diligently to equip students of all ages with the skills they need to recreate safely, the knowledge that unlocks their curiosity, and lifelong memories that truly inspire a new generation of environmental stewards.
None of this work is possible without your generous support. This year's Lumberjack Ball will help us reach new heights and inspire thousands along the way.
We are seeking great partners to help sponsor the event, and have added tons of new ways to get involved and help us make the event a smashing success.
