Hunter's Dream has been a supporter of the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) for several years, providing grants that allow children sponsorship opportunities to participate in the program. Many of the children impacted would otherwise not be able to afford the cost of the program. The scholarship program ensures that no child is turned away. Each year, Hunter's Dream For a Cure awards a $10,000 grant to the BOEC.
The outdoor experiences that Hunter received at the BOEC were some of his favorite things... and special thanks are given to the teachers and staff that aided in his experience!
Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center
The Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center (BOEC) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to expand the potential of people with disabilities and special needs through meaningful, educational, and inspiring outdoor experiences. The BOEC began back in 1976 with a staff that consisted of volunteers only, gear that came from their closets, and food that was donated or provided by the clients. The BOEC has come a long way since then. Most recently honored as a finalist in Colorado's 2003 El Pomar Foundation Award for Excellence program, the BOEC offers Adaptive Skiing and Snowboarding, Wilderness Courses (on-site as well as mobile courses), Professional Challenge Courses, and a unique Internship Program.
The BOEC has something for everyone. Educational experiences are offered for people with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities, people from low-income backgrounds or disadvantaged environments, people looking for more team unity in their workplace, people learning English as their second language. . . the list goes on and on.
