The BOEC is running fast and full this summer with programs booked every week. Courses feature a full array of summer activities including rafting, ropes course, rock climbing, handcycling, canoeing and much more. Most of the courses are multi -day programs based at our Griffith Lodge. Some courses are run in a “mobile” fashion on Ruby-Horsethief Canyon on the Colorado River in western Colorado and Labyrinth Canyon on the Green River in southeastern Utah. Many long-term clients have returned, including the Brain Injury Association of Colorado for five courses, The Children’s Hospital, Adventures Within, Campfire of Kansas City, the Challenge Foundation, Summit County Youth and Family Services, the Rehab Institute of Chicago and others. We also welcome several new clients including Halcyon Middle School and Rocky Mountain Independence.
Despite the challenging economy, the BOEC is enjoying one of our best programming years ever and we thank the students, groups and agencies coming to us for keeping outdoor education and recreation as a priority. These programs are indispensible to healthy and productive lives for so many who may otherwise be excluded.
