Welcome

The Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) is a national leader in outdoor adventure education serving all people, while ensuring that the outdoors is accessible to those with special needs.

The BOEC was established in Breckenridge, Colorado, in 1976 as a non-profit tax-exempt educational organization to provide outdoor experiences for people with disabilities and to train the instructors who work with special populations. Ultimately, the BOEC strives to integrate disability with ability, providing outdoor experiences to all.We welcome people of all abilities from around the world to spectacular natural classrooms in the Rocky Mountains and beyond.

At the BOEC, we provide the necessary ingredients for a successful experience in the wilderness, on the ski slopes or in one of our many outdoor classrooms. Take a look at our Programs and call us to discuss your goals. We will design a program for your group or enroll you in one of our open enrollment courses or youth camps.
