Adventure Programming
Overnight trips and outdoor experiences that build courage, independence, and confidence in every student.
Fieldwork
Real-world learning with experts — in our city and beyond. Because classrooms are just the beginning.
Crew Club
Our in-house after-school program that supports working families and keeps kids connected to community.
What We Need Right Now
We're building our silent auction and need our Crew to step in.
These are the items that drive the most fundraising — every donation counts.
Restaurant Gift Cards
Local favorites, Denver gems, crowd-pleasers of all kinds.
Weekend getaways and vacation rentals are auction gold.
Wine, Spirits & Beer

Kids Camps & Packages
Summer camps, lessons, birthday party packages, and more.
Services
Fitness, med spas, photography, wellness — if it's valuable, we want it.
