Celebrating 50 Years of Outdoor Inclusion
The Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) is turning 50 — and we’re inviting you to be part of the celebration!
Founded right here in Breckenridge, the BOEC is a nonprofit that for five decades has served as a place where individuals can discover their strength, build confidence, and experience the freedom of outdoor adventure, regardless of their ability. Whether it’s skiing, rafting, climbing, or just finding belonging in the mountains, BOEC’s adaptive programs have transformed lives since 1976.
As we approach our 50th anniversary this fall, we’re reflecting on a half-century of impact and looking forward to a full year of celebration. Come celebrate with us, meet the community, and be part of the next 50 years of outdoor adventures for all.
Give 50 for 50
Help us celebrate 50 years of adventures for all!
By giving $50 for 50 years of inclusive outdoor adventures of people of all abilities.
One of our founders, Gene Dayton, sums up the past 50 years beautifully: “There have been so many miracles every step of the way.” You can be a part of the BOEC’s miraculous journey by using the adjacent form to support our participants through your tax-deductible gift.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on donations to create miracles every day through life-changing adaptive outdoor recreation. In fact, over 70% of our programming expenses are covered by contributed revenue.
Join us in recognizing this incredible milestone and help us kick off the next 50 years!
50th Anniversary Celebration Events
The upcoming year will feature mountain takeovers, community celebrations, and special events — each one spotlighting the people who make the BOEC story so powerful: the instructors, volunteers, partners, and participants who believe in adventure for all. If you’ve ever wondered what a day with the BOEC feels like, there’s no better time to experience it. Come celebrate with us, meet the community, and be part of the next 50 years of outdoor inclusion.
